Avalanche Photodiodes

Similar to photomultipliers, avalanche photodiodes are used to detect extremely weak light intensities. Si APDs are used in the wavelength range from 250 to 1100 nm, and InGaAs is used as semiconductor material in APDs for the wavelength range from 1100 to 1700 nm.

Silicon avalanche photodiodes are used in the wavelength range between 250 nm and 1100 nm. The avalanche effect makes them well suited for the detection of extremely weak light intensities.

Our InGaAs avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are designed for a spectral range from 1100 nm to 1700 nm. The IAG series products feature a particularly good signal-to-noise ratio and support an amplification of more than 30.

APD-arrays are now available from Laser Components, enabling new applications in LIDAR and ACC.

APD receivers have an integrated preamplifier and come in a compact, hermetically-sealed housing.

Fast and reliable detection of light. In APD modules the driver for operating the avalanche photodiodes is already included.

These inexpensive block modules can produce voltages up to 1000 V. These digital Bias Controllers are used, in particular, in APD and PMT operation.
