Lumileds LUXEON IR Compact Line High-Radiant Density 850nm & 940nm LEDs in 1914 Footprint

Introduction

The Lumileds LUXEON IR Compact Line is a high-power, integrated infrared solution engineered specifically for manufacturers who require massive radiant flux density within a restricted PCB area. Built on a specialized 1.9 mm x 1.37 mm (1914) platform, this series bridges the gap between mid-power components and bulky high-power LEDs. By eliminating the primary silicone dome, the LUXEON IR Compact minimizes optical etendue, providing LED module manufacturers and fixture designers a near-point source of light essential for precision-engineered 3D sensing, biometrics, and surveillance systems.

Unlike standard un-packaged emitters, the LUXEON IR Compact series offers the mechanical reliability of a ceramic-based SMD. This allows contract manufacturers (EMS) to utilize standard SMT pick-and-place equipment while achieving the extreme packing density required for miniaturized consumer electronics and automotive interior sensors.

Key Product Features

• Exceptional Radiant Density: Delivering typical radiant power exceeding 1000mW at 1A, the LUXEON IR Compact facilitates a strategic reduction in total component count without sacrificing infrared "throw" or illumination depth.
• 3-Pad Isolated Thermal Design: Unlike standard 2-pad designs, this series features an electrically isolated thermal pad. This allows for higher drive currents and simplifies the thermal management layout for luminaire designers creating high-density arrays.
• Un-domed Flat-Top Architecture: The low-profile, domeless construction ensures that secondary optics (TIR lenses or reflectors) can be positioned closer to the chip. This results in superior light collection efficiency and precise beam steering for narrow-angle spot applications.
• Industrial-Grade Stability at 85 °C: Characterized and binned at realistic operating temperatures of 85 °C, the LUXEON IR Compact ensures that wavelength and radiant flux remain consistent throughout the fixture's operational equilibrium.
• Industry-Leading Reliability: Backed by extensive LM-80 data, the ceramic package offers high resistance to environmental stress and thermal fatigue, protecting the L70 lifespan in 24/7 mission-critical security hardware.

The LUXEON IR Compact Line is the primary light engine for performance-driven markets:

• Biometric Identification: Precision 850nm/940nm source for iris scanning and high-fidelity facial recognition modules in secure access control.
• Covert Surveillance (CCTV): Stealth night vision for security cameras requiring high contrast without the visible red "glow" of 850nm (when using 940nm variants).
• Machine Vision & Robotics: High-density IR light bars for industrial automation, high-speed inspection, and spatial depth mapping.
• Automotive DMS (Driver Monitoring): Compact, durable light sources for eye-tracking and fatigue detection sensors within the cabin.
