Advanced Photonix's point source LED emitters are designed for high-reliability applications in military/aerospace, medical, and industrial industries. Packaged in TO-46 cans for hermeticity and extended temperature range, the series is suitable for variable ambient and weather conditions in the harshest environmental conditions. The Point Source LED series outperforms standard emitters at high speeds, yielding a stable output pattern. The high accuracy Point Source series features an unobstructed, narrow beam of light output. This series of LEDs is ideally suited for critical sensing applications including encoders, linear or edge positioning sensors, and medical sensing equipment. Customers utilizing the Point Source series in these applications have been able to substantially improve the performance of their products, especially at higher speeds.
