IR photodiodes with an emphasis on quantum efficiency: LASER COMPONENTS develops and manufactures photodiodes in the spectral range of up to 2600 nm.
The InGaAs Detectors series IG17, IG22 and IG26 were developed with an emphasis on quantum efficiency.
Main Applications for IR Photodiodes:
Key Features Include the Following:
LASER COMPONENTS produces photodiodes in house at our production facility in Arizona. They have been available on the market since 2013 and offer a strong cost-performance ratio.
The following InGaAs detectors and Extended InGaAs photodiodes are available:
This product portfolio was designed with great attention to detail: One of our most obvious features is the panchromatic nature of all of our InGaAs photodiodes, providing detection down to 500 nm. Further advantages include a lower temperature coefficient and a reduced off-area sensitivity.
Active diametres from 0.25 mm to 3 mm are available as standard, and are available in hermetically-sealed TO housings with or without an integrated Peltier cooler, as an SMD, on a ceramic mount, or simply as a chip.
In addition to the industry standard sizes of 1 mm and 2 mm, we also have an in-between active area size available: 1.3 mm. This makes it possible to package the photodiode in a TO-46 housing (with a base diametre of 5.3 mm), delivering 70% more signal in the same housing dimensions compared to a photodiode with an active area of 1 mm.
Customer-specific designs are possible, such as hermetic integration of interference filters.
