Boost for for low-level light detection
The low cost C30737E epitaxial avalanche photodiode and C30659 series APD pre-amplifier modules represents a major step forward for low-level light-detection applications.
Now available through Pacer and manufactured by PerkinElmer, the low cost C30737E epitaxial (EPI) avalanche photodiode (APD) and C30659 series APD pre-amplifier modules represents a major step forward for low-level light-detection applications such as LIDAR, laser range finding and confocal microscopy Offered in hermetic TO-can and sealed plastic packages, the 230 and 500um diameter C30737 EPI APD offers the benefits of gains in excess of 100 but at 150V, much lower operating voltages are achieved compared with traditional reach-through devices
