IR & NIR LEDs – High-Efficiency Infrared LED Solutions (700 nm – 1050 nm)

Near-infrared LEDs (often shortened to NIR LEDs) and IR LEDs emit light just beyond the red edge of the visible spectrum, where the eye’s sensitivity falls off steeply (some wavelengths still show a faint red glow). The CIE divides infrared radiation into three bands:

Band Wavelength Common use cases
IR-A (near-infrared) 780 – 1400 nm Night-vision, biometric cameras, pulse oximetry, sensing
IR-B 1400 – 3000 nm Fiber-optic links, moisture sensing (see our SWIR LED line)
IR-C 3 µm – 1 mm Thermal imaging

The IR & NIR LEDs in the catalog cover 700 to 1050 nm: the far-red edge (700–780 nm) and the shorter-wavelength part of IR-A. Wavelengths from 1050 to 1900 nm are on our SWIR LED page.
(Sunlight at sea level delivers ~527 W/m2 of infrared energy—proof of IR’s power and prevalence.)

Why Choose These Near-Infrared LEDs?

  • High radiant output – Up to 6 W in compact SMBB and EDC packages.
  • Tight wavelength bins – 730 nm, 780 nm, 810 nm, 850 nm, 940 nm ± 5 nm for repeatable sensor design.
  • Thermal paths that scale – Ceramic SMBB for board-level designs; TO-66 arrays for flood illuminators.

Applications for Infrared & NIR LEDs

  • Security cameras & facial-recognition floodlights
  • Medical pulse-oximetry & photobiomodulation therapy
  • LiDAR / time-of-flight ranging
  • Plastic & moisture sorting in industrial automation

For wavelengths above 1000 nm—including 1050 nm, 1300 nm and 1550 nm - please visit our SWIR LED page.

NRND: Not Recommended for New Design

IR & NIR LEDs – High-Efficiency Infrared Emitters (700 nm – 1050 nm)

Infrared (IR) and near-infrared (NIR) LEDs emit light just beyond the red end of the visible spectrum, where the eye’s sensitivity falls off steeply. IR LEDs have been used for decades in everyday devices like TV remote controls (typically around 940 nm), and today they also power advanced systems in security, communications, and sensing. Notably, nearly half of the Sun’s energy reaching Earth is in the infrared – illustrating the abundance and utility of IR light. The CIE divides infrared radiation into three bands: IR-A (near-infrared) from 780 to 1400 nm, which includes most night-vision and biometric illumination; IR-B from 1400 to 3000 nm, used in applications like telecommunications and moisture sensing; and IR-C from 3 µm to 1 mm, the range of thermal imaging. Marubeni’s IR & NIR product line covers 700 to 1050 nm, from the far-red edge into the shorter-wavelength part of IR-A (for 1050 to 1900 nm, see our SWIR LED offerings).

Why Choose Marubeni for Near-Infrared?

High radiant output

Our IR/NIR LEDs deliver exceptional optical power, with some emitters achieving up to 5–6 W of output in compact packages (plenty for long-range floodlights and illuminators). Using advanced chip designs and thermal packaging (such as our ceramic SMBB 5 × 5 mm and EDC 3.5 × 3.5 mm devices), we offer intense infrared illumination from a small footprint.

Tight wavelength binning

We offer standard NIR LEDs at key wavelengths – for example 730 nm (far-red), 780 nm, 810 nm, 850 nm, and 940 nm – each sorted in narrow wavelength bins (typically ±5 nm). This tight binning ensures uniformity and repeatability in sensor designs, especially important for applications like biometrics or structured-light systems that demand a specific IR wavelength.

Scalable thermal solutions

Marubeni provides infrared emitters in formats suitable for both small and large-scale deployments. For board-level and wearable devices, we have low-profile surface-mount LEDs (with heat-spreading substrates) that integrate easily. For high-power requirements, we offer components like TO-66 metal-can arrays and custom multi-LED illuminators, which can handle higher drive currents and dissipate heat efficiently, enabling use as flood lights or long-range IR spotlights. For example, our multi-die IR illuminators in TO-66 cans combine several chips behind an optical window to produce an exceptionally high-intensity beam for surveillance or machine vision.

Applications of IR & NIR LEDs

Security and biometrics

High-power 850 nm and 940 nm LEDs are widely used for CCTV security cameras, covert illuminators, and facial recognition systems, and automatic license plate recognition (ANPR) for traffic monitoring. Our NIR LEDs serve as floodlights that allow night-vision cameras to capture clear images in complete darkness. They are also used in biometric identification like iris scanners and eye-tracking systems (for VR headsets or driver monitoring), providing near-infrared light to track eye movement or authenticate users.

Medical devices & therapy

NIR LEDs play a crucial role in health monitoring and treatment. 940 nm IR emitters, paired with red LEDs, are the basis of pulse oximetry sensors that measure pulse (heart rate) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) in wearable devices and hospital monitors. Additionally, arrays of 850 nm and 810 nm LEDs are used in photobiomodulation (near-infrared light therapy) devices and research. Designers qualify LEDs for their application; see the datasheet notes on intended use.

LiDAR and range-finding

Infrared LEDs (often 905 nm or 940 nm) and laser diodes are used in time-of-flight rangefinders, LiDAR sensors, and proximity detectors. Marubeni’s high-efficiency IR chips enable these systems to send out powerful pulses of light and accurately measure distances for applications such as automotive LiDAR and robotics navigation. The eye-safe nature of certain NIR wavelengths allows for their use in consumer electronics (e.g. structured-light 3D cameras in smartphones) as well.

Industrial sorting & sensing

IR and NIR LEDs help automate quality control by detecting material properties invisible to the human eye. For instance, 740–980 nm illumination is used to differentiate plastics or to sense moisture content on production lines (water absorbs specific NIR wavelengths). In food processing, 850 nm LEDs can assist in sorting produce or grains by detecting surface characteristics. Our infrared emitters offer the reliability and fast switching needed for these high-speed machine vision systems.

Environmental & consumer sensors

Infrared LED-based sensor pairs are common in smoke detectors, where an IR LED and photodiode work together to detect airborne particles (smoke) via light scattering. IR proximity sensors are also used in consumer electronics – for instance, helping smartphones detect when they are near your face or enabling touchless gesture controls. Our IR emitters provide reliable, low-noise output for these safety and convenience applications.

Together, these applications demonstrate the versatility of Marubeni’s IR/NIR devices – from enabling safer cities with IR surveillance to advancing healthcare and industry with precise infrared sensing. If your project requires wavelengths above ~1000 nm (such as 1050 nm, 1300 nm, or 1550 nm), please explore our complementary SWIR LED chips for extended infrared coverage. Whatever your infrared illumination needs, Marubeni provides a solution backed by our technical expertise and commitment to quality.
