Silicon Photodiodes

Silicon Photodiodes are used to convert photonic energy (photons) to electrical current (electrons). Silicon has unique properties for light detection from 200nm to 1100nm. Pacific Silicon Sensor’s product line includes seven different series of silicon photodiodes. Each series is specially fabricated to address different performance specifications and design goals.

All these series are available in a wide variety of standard and custom sizes and configurations and packages; including detector amplifier and detector/ optical filter combinations. Additionally, multi-element arrays can also be provided.
