10W flood illuminator module for next-gen 3D sensing
Integrating three-junction VCSEL arrays, an optical diffuser, a ceramic substrate, and a photodiode, the 10 W Flood Illuminator Module is designed to provide high efficiency, reliability, and the highest optical peak power in a consumer-grade flood illuminator with built-in eye safety function. The device addresses a variety of high-performance 3D sensing applications ranging from biometric security in mobile phones to emerging industrial and consumer AIoT (artificial intelligence of things).
AIoT, the convergence of artificial intelligence and the internet of things, benefits from 3D sensing since it is dependent on capturing vast amounts of high-quality data to enable efficient artificial intelligence processing. To meet the needs of these growing numbers of applications, says the company, its new 10 W flood illuminator provides users with a high power, high efficiency, integrated solution in an easy to incorporate industry-standard package that can be paired seamlessly with time-of-flight sensors and infrared cameras.
“Lumentum’s three-junction VCSEL arrays provide customers with highly differentiated performance in an embeddable flood illuminator module,” says Ken Huang, Lumentum Director of Product Line Management, 3D Sensing. “Compared to single-junction array modules currently in the market, Lumentum’s multi-junction design achieves high peak optical powers and densities with increased efficiency and eye safety functionality, all of which are critical for many emerging 3D sensing applications.”
The 10 W flood illuminator is available in a compact standard surface-mount package with a built-in eye safety function. It integrates a three-junction VCSEL array, an optical diffuser, a ceramic substrate, and a photodiode, which enables closed loop control. Users can select three different fields of illumination, including 60°x45°, 72°x58°, and a wider 110°x85° to attain more depth of information.
The 10 W flood illuminator is available for sampling.
