•
850 nm Surface-Emitting LED
70 MHz Bandwidth
Uniform phase distribution
Designed for 200/280 µm fiber
Description
This device is capable of providing high power into
large-core fiber over a wide temperature range. Thanks
to its very uniform phase distribution of the optical
power, it is ideal for Electronic Distance Measurement
equipment.
