Avalanche Photodiodes – Silicon and InGaAs APDs
Excelitas' rear entry "reach-through" silicon APDs offer the best compromise in terms of cost and performance for applications requiring high speed and low noise photon detection from 400 nm up to 1100 nm. These APDs feature low noise, high quantum efficiency and high gain while maintaining reasonably low operating voltage. The active area varies from 0.5 mm to 3 mm to accommodate a large variety of applications including laser range finding, confocal microscopy, free space communication, fluorescence detection, DNA sequencing, and particle sizing.
