Oral Presentation

Abstract - YAG enhanced photon trapping silicon avalanche photodiode

We present the design and characterization of an improved YAG enhanced Silicon Avalanche Photodiode that is able to operate at high gain with low overall noise. The RAPD with active photon traps exhibits high Quantum Efficiency at 1064nm wavelength and a low capacitance.

Avalanche Photodiodes

Nd:YAG Enhanced APDs

SAP500T6 SAP500T6
Silicon APDs for Photon Counting

APD with excellent quantum efficiency made for photon counting.

The SAP-series silicon avalanche photodiodes are primarily used in photon counting. This series features highest efficiency and lowest dark current rates.
SAV300T8 SAV300T8
Silicon APDs, UV sensitive

These APDs have a high sensitivity in the DUV/UV wavelength range.

The detector was developed specifically for (bio)medical applications in which the smallest signals in the short-wave UV/blue spectral range have to be detected.

Silicon APD Arrays

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

IAG080S5 IAG080S5
InGaAs APDs
1100 - 1700 nm

Best efficiency thanks to excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

The IAG series avalanche photodiodes feature a particularly good signal-to-noise ratio and support an amplification of more than 30. The inexpensive IAL series is made for consumer products.
H1 Receiver H1 Receiver
APD Receivers

APDs with matched, integrated pre-amplifier in compact hermetic packages.

All receivers are available with Si or InGaAs APDs.
