Large area, UV-Enhanced APDs

Excelitas is a leading provider of advanced photonic solutions designed for optimum performance in each application. Our superior solutions are headlined by our UV-enhanced Silicon Avalanche Photodiodes (Si APDs), designed for applications requiring low noise, high quantum efficiency, and high gain while maintaining reasonably low operating voltages. These large-area, UV-enhanced Si APDs are intended for use in various broadband low-light applications from below 400nm to over 700nm. Through our innovative technology, Excelitas is able to deliver market-driven photonic solutions designed to help the needs of our OEM and end-user customers.

Excelitas features a comprehensive line of high-performing UV-enhanced APDs that fully use the photoelectric effect to convert light energy into electricity. Our extensive products have been manufactured with easy handling and superior wavelength responsivity in mind, making them ideal for such demanding applications, including Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and other equipment in the medical and biomedical fields.

Excelitas proudly offers a comprehensive range of Si APD solutions to cater to a wide range of potential applications for OEM and end-user applications. Our large-area, UV-enhanced Si APD solutions include the following:

• C30626FH - Si APD, 5x5mm, Flatpack - has actual dimensions of 4.7 x 4.7 mm and is capable of direct detection or easy coupling to scintillator crystals thanks to its flat-pack package design.

• C30703FH - Si APD, 10x10mm, Flatpack - has 10 x 10 mm dimensions and is designed for extremely large areas. It comes in a flat-pack package design. It is enhanced for blue-wavelength response with a peak quantum efficiency at ~ 530nm, making it ideal for radiation detection.

• C30703FH-200 - Si APD, 10x10mm Flatpack without Glued Window - also comes in a flat-pack assembly while offering the same level of performance as the C30703FH. It is well-suited for radiation detection in extremely large areas.

• C30739ECERH - Si APD, Ceramic Carrier - covers the spectral range from less than 400 nm to greater than 700 nm. It has low noise, high gain, low capacitance, and an enhanced UV response, with a quantum efficiency above 70% at 430 nm. This Si APD series is ideally suited for applications at low-light-levels, like molecular imaging.

• C30739ECERH-2 - Si APD, Ceramic Carrier, High-Gain - comes in a ceramic carrier package, enabling easy handling and coupling to scintillation crystals, such as LSO and BGO.

Excelitas is on the cutting edge of innovation with its wide range of large-area Si APD offerings. They are designed for optimal performance in the following applications:
