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