Photodiodes and Arrays
Excelitas utilizes Silicon and InGaAs materials for our photodiodes to provide detection from 220 nm to 1700 nm. These devices are offered in a variety of sizes to meet customer sensitivity and speed requirements. Many different types of photodiodes are available to serve various unique applications.
Our photodiode arrays are used to generate an X-ray image by scanning an object line by line. The X-rays are converted into light through the attached scintillator crystal. The light intensity is then measured by the photodiodes. The boards are employing chip-on-board technology with optically-adapted scintillator crystals.
Silicon PIN Photodiodes
Silicon PIN photodiodes are available in a wide variety of active areas to accommodate various applications. The PIN structure allows high quantum efficiency and fast response for detection of photons in the 400 nm to 1100 nm range. Our YAG Series offers an exceptional 0.4 A/W at 1060 nm by using a...
