IR leds

[jspeybro]

Hi,

Does anyone know a source where I can get high power IR LEDs?

I already found epitex but I'm still looking for other sollutions as they are pretty expensive.
The wavelength of the LED should be somewhere between 1400 and 1600nm.

If you know of some other (non-high power) leds in this wavelength region, I'm also interested.

thanks in advance,

Johan

Digging up an old post here.
I've got a 3w 840nm, and they're cheap on ebay. Looks like an IR version of a Luxeon star.

1400nm+ is, uh, rather 'Out there'. Somebody makes them, it seems.

Might need to dig out specific part numbers and stooge around on ebay for a surplus blowout.

Bob said it best, thats a speciality LED.

DealsExtreme sells the cree version he's talking about. Heres the link:

Actually, mine's this beast. One of these days, I need to get around to putting it back into use.

The ostar ir is probably one of the more powerful ones.

The link says its 0.5 watt but if you download the datsheet it says 3.5 watts. I think Mouser made a mistake on the website.
