Product Description
Silicon PIN photodiodes are available in a wide variety of active area to accommodate a large variety
of applications. The PIN structure allows high quantum efficiency and fast response for detection of
photon in the 400nm to 1100nm range.
The YAG series offers an exceptional 0.4 A/W at 1060nm by using a thick silicon material. Designed
with a guard ring to collect current generated outside of the active area, they are the detectors of
choice when the entire chip is illuminated by reducing unwanted carriers responsible for noise.
Precise beam positioning can be achieved by using our quadrant detectors. They are designed with
4 pie-shaped quadrant sections from doping process thus reducing to almost zero the “dead” space
between each quadrant. Each quadrant is connected to an isolated lead.
The C30741 provide fast response and good quantum efficiency in the spectral range between
300nm to 1100nm. Designed for high-speed, high-volume production and cost sensitive applica-
tions, these photodiodes are offered in plastic package, either TO style or SMD packages with a visi-
ble blocking filter option.
Our UV series are high quality Si PIN photodiode in hermatically sealed TO package designed for the
220nm to 1100nm wavelength region with enhanced operation in the UV range. Low noise detection
is achieved by operating the UV series in photovoltaic mode (0 V bias).
The InGaAs PIN detectors provide high quantum efficiency from 800 nm to 1700nm. They feature
low capacitance for extended bandwidth, high resistance for high sensitivity, high linearity, and unifor-
mity within 2 % across the detector active area.
