Silicon Sensor International AG announces a new line of Silicon APDs optimized for the wavelength range of 550nm to 750nm with a peak response of 0.5 A/W for red light sources. The series features very high quantum efficiencies of up to 94%, high cut-off frequencies of up to 3 GHz, high gain at low voltages and an ultra low temperature coefficient. The series 12 APDs are especially designed to suit high performance distance measurement applications using 635nm... 660nm laser diodes.

The APD series comprises standard size active areas with 100µm, 230µm and 500µm diameter. A variety of packages are available including TO metal cans, SMD ceramic packages and customized solutions. Please contact us for more information, samples or your special requirements.
