OSRAM IR DRAGON® Infrared Emitter

You Can Only Get this Much Power from IR DRAGON

The OSRAM IR DRAGON® is the strongest infrared emitter, offering stellar performance in a small package, a long service life, and high power in continuous driving mode thanks to its excellent thermal design. The OSRAM IR DRAGON infrared emitter operates at wavelengths designed to support CMOS and CCD camera applications. The OSRAM IR SFH 4233 is a 940 nm high power infrared emitter that demonstrates high efficiency with a very small package. The SFH 4233 has an emission area of 1x1 mm. The IR LED SFH 4236 offers more than three times the radiant intensity of the standard IR DRAGON. The OSRAM SFH 4236 IR DRAGON includes an integrated lens that concentrates the emitted infrared light within a viewing angle of ±20º and achieves a typical radiant intensity of 650 mW/sr at DC current of 1A.
