FAQ
What is the operating temperature range?
Answer
The operating temperature range over which an SLED module can be operated is given in the specification for that SLED. It is typically between -20°C and 65°C.
The chip temperature should be set to 25°C for the short-wavelength SLEDs (730 to 900nm) and to 20°C for the long-wavelength SLEDs (1250 to 1700nm). The SLEDs can be operated at slightly modified temperatures, but care should be taken not to exceed the maximum current ratings given in the specification. This is especially true when operating the devices at lower temperatures, where higher power levels can be achieved.
