Ams OSRAM Infrared LED OSLON™ Black IR:6 C Series: High-Power Infrared Emitters

Whether the driver is distracted or fatigued, whether all passengers are properly seated, or whether a child or pet has been left behind in the back seat, in-cabin monitoring systems provide critical support to the driver at pivotal moments, effectively helping to prevent accidents. This signifies that vehicles are gradually evolving into active partners in safety-benefiting not only the driver but every occupant within the vehicle.

Tobias Hofmeier, Product Marketing Manager at ams OSRAM, stated:
"In-cabin sensing is more than just a technological trend; it is a matter of responsibility regarding road safety. When a vehicle possesses the capability to perceive in-cabin dynamics with greater precision, it can safeguard occupant safety in those critical, split-second moments."

Infrared light plays a pivotal role in this technology. Camera-based in-cabin sensing systems require stable, uniform infrared illumination to accurately capture information without compromising the occupant experience. ams OSRAM's portfolio of high-power infrared emitters has been created specifically to meet this need.

The Osram Infrared Led OSLON™ Black IR:6 C-series infrared emitter reliably identifies critical information-such as facial features and gaze direction-maintaining consistent performance even in low-light conditions or environments with sudden lighting changes. By specifically suppressing the "red glow" phenomenon within the 940nm wavelength range, the in-cabin infrared light source remains virtually invisible. This is particularly crucial during night driving scenarios, significantly enhancing user acceptance and overall cabin comfort.

Discreet design is a decisive factor in the overall user experience. The presence of visible red light-a byproduct of infrared sources-within the cabin can easily become a distraction. ams OSRAM addresses this issue at the chip level, resolving this technical challenge at the source to ensure the reliable operation of in-cabin sensing systems while avoiding any disturbance to the driver and passengers.

This infrared emitter supports not only established applications-such as driver monitoring, occupant detection, and child presence detection-but is also well-suited for future scenarios, including medical emergency detection, cognitive state monitoring, and the detection of intoxication or abnormal behavior.

Furthermore, the Osram Infrared Led OSLON™ Black IR:6 C-series (Model: OSLON™ Black SFH 472XXCS A01) offers a diverse range of emission angles and optical configurations, providing designers with a high degree of flexibility.
