LPV4-0500DP

LPV4-0500DP is one of the popularly used optical components in the field of light pipes. It is a single-mode fiber light pipe, which integrates a laser diode and a photodiode into a single package. The laser diode can provide high power, low loss and long range optical connection. The photodiode is able to detect small light signals in the transmitted light and provide feedback to the user.

The LPV4-0500DP is a general purpose light pipe, which can be used for a number of purposes. Some of the applications are optical signaling, telecommunications, sensing, testing, and guiding. In addition, it can be used to connect electronic devices such as cameras, modems, and hard disks.

The working principle of the LPV4-0500DP is based on the propagation of light along an optical waveguide. When a laser beam is incident on the light pipe, the majority of the light is propagated along the waveguide. The laser beam is attenuated while passing through the waveguide due to Rayleigh scattering and other optical losses. At the end of the light pipe, the remaining light is collected by a photodiode, which converts the optical signal into an electrical signal.

The LPV4-0500DP is a highly reliable and stable component. It has been designed for long range applications, and can tolerate temperatures of -20° to +125°C. The maximum optical power output of the laser diode is 5mW. The detector can detect light signals up to a power of 1 to 2 μW. It has a low insertion and return loss of ~1dB and a wide operation range of 488 to 1100 nm.

LPV4-0500DP is widely used for a variety of applications due to its compact size, low cost and high reliability. Its combination of a laser diode and photodiode makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring long range, high reliability and low power operation.
