STANDARD PHOTODETECTORS

Silicon PIN photodetectorsSilicon photodetectors: Visible & IR Silicon photodiodes has unique properties for light detection from 200nm to 1100nm as well as detection of α, β,Y and X-ray radiation - All photodetectors series are available in a wide variety of standard sizes, configurations and packages including detector amplifier and detector-optical filter combinations. Additionally, multi-element arrays and modules are also available.

Avalanche photodetectorsSi Avalanche Photodetectors(APDs): are high speed, high sensitivity photodiodes with an internal gain mechanism capable of a high gain bandwidth product. All Avalanche Photodetectors are available in a wide range of sizes and packages, including Multi-Element Arrays.

Wavelength sensitive spectral responseWavelength Sensitive Detectors are made up of two monolithically vertically arranged photodetectors in one chip. This combination is especially suitable for determining the wavelength of monochromatic radiation - Spectral range from 450nm to 950nm.

Particle Detectors, X-Rays: can be detected with silicon either directly via absorption within the crystal lattice or indirectly via scintillators. Application: X-Rays detection & Gamma radiation detectors.

The lateral effect Position Sensitive Detector (PSD): is a device based on Silicon PIN diode technology. The PSD converts the energy from an incident light spot into a continuous, position relative, electrical output current. Single axis, duo-lateral and tetra-lateral PSD types
Quadrant Photodiodes consist of an single chip with four active areas, separated by a small gap. These photodiodes are used in a wide range of applications such as position sensing of laser beams, autocollimators and other alignment applications.
