DESCRIPTION
The HFE4074-323/XXX is a high radiance GaAIAs
850 nanometer LED optimized for coupling into small
fiber core diameters at a forward current of 50 mA. The
"Caprock"™ LED chip combines high power coupling with
wide bandwidth. The peak wavelength is matched for use
with Honeywell silicon fiber optic detectors and receivers.
APPLICATION
The HFE4074-323/XXX is a high radiance LED packaged
in a fiber optic connector that aligns the optical axis of the
base component to the axis of the optical fiber. Data
rates can vary from DC to above 100 MHz depending
upon component application. The LED converts electrical
current into optical power that can be used in fiber optic
communications. As the current varies (typically from 10
to 100 mA), the light intensity increases proportionally.
When high currents (near the 100 mA range) flow
through the HFE4074-323/XXX continually, heat sinking
is recommended to maintain the expected long life. If the
HFE4074-323/XXX is heat sinked the package has a
typical thermal resistance of 250¡C per watt. If not heat
sinked, typical thermal resistance is 500¡C per watt.
The HFE4074-323/XXX sends high optical power into
standard fiber optic cables. A 0.25 mm diameter glass
microlens over the "Caprock"™ junction collimates the
light, increasing the intensity, which directs greater power
into standard fiber optic cables.
Honeywell reserves the right to make
changes in order to improve design and
supply the best products possible.

Notes
1. Typical specifications are for operations at TÙ= 25¡C.
2. HFE4074-323/XXX is tested using a 50/125 micron fiber located in a special fixture. The fiber is mechanically centered with respect to
the outside can diameter. Actual coupled power values may vary due to mechanical alignment procedures and/or receptacle and fiber
tolerances.
3. HFE4074-323/XXX must be heat sinked for continuous I¸ > 50 mA operation (i.e. mounted in a metal connector with thermally
conductive epoxy).

FIBER INTERFACE
Honeywell LEDs are designed to interface with
multimode fiber with sizes ranging from 50/125 to
200/230 microns. Honeywell performs final tests using
50/125 micron core fiber. All multimode fiber optic cables
between 50/125 and 200/230 should operate with similar
excellent performance. See table for typical powers.
