The new 1 mm² infrared chip prototype from Osram Opto Semiconductors (Sunnyvale, CA) has achieved an efficiency of up to 72 percent at 100 milliamps using thin-film technology. The wavelength of the chip prototype is perfect for infrared illumination, particularly for surveillance tasks and use with CCTV cameras. Features include:

• An operating current of 1 amp.
• A wavelength of 850 nanometers.
• A specific infrared illumination application design.
• A high quantum efficiency that remains around 65 percent up to 1 amp.
