What wavelength is FaceID using and what is the power output

Hi,

does anyone know what is the exact wavelength and power output Faceid uses? I am kinda afraid about letting some unknown invisible, even though infrared, rays in my eyes...

Thanks for the answer. 🙂 But I can use a laser (or other very powerful light) to blind you. But when you see such light, you can close your eyes. If I used either ultraviolet or infrared light, then you won't know you are being blinded until it is too late. So I would like to know how powerful will the light be, or if it will be possible to change its intensity. Yes, i am probably a bit paranoid... 😀
