Description
The OPV314 is a high performance 850nm VCSEL pack-
aged for high speed communication links. OPV314 com-
bines all the performance advantages of a VCSEL with
the addition of a power monitor diode for precise control
of optical power.
The OPV314Y is identical electrically and optically and
differs only in pin out. Refer to mechanical drawings for
details.
Features including high speed, high output power and
concentric beam makes it an ideal transmitter for integra-
tion into all types of data communications equipment.
Applications include:

Additional laser safety information can be found
on the Optek website. See application #221.
Classification is not marked on the device due to
space limitations. See package outline for
centerline of optical radiance. Operating devices
beyond maximum rating may cause devices to
exceed rated classification
