APD Silicon Avalanche Photodiodes

Product information "APD Silicon Avalanche Photodiodes"

800 nm Band Optimized; Active Area 0.03 to 19.6 mm2; AA Dia. 0.2 to 5.0 mm; Responsivity 20 to 50 A/W; Capacitance 1.5 to 105 pF; Package TO-5, TO-8, TO-52

OSI Optoelectronics’ APD series of silicon avalanche photodiodes make use of internal multiplication to achieve gain due to impact ionization. The result is this optimized series of high responsivity devices, exhibiting excellent sensitivity. OSI Optoelectronics offers several sizes of detectors that are available with flat windows or ball lenses for optical fiber applications.

Optimized for the 800 nm wavelength band, the APD series is available with five different active area sizes ranging from 0.2 to 5.0 mm in diameter. Depending on active area size, the devices are supplied in TO-5, TO-8 or TO-52 packages.

Key Features:

  • High Speed Responsivity / QE
  • High Bandwidth / Fast Response
  • Low Noise
  • Low Bias Voltage
  • Hermetically Sealed TO-Packages


Applications: High Speed Optical Communications; Laser Range Finders; Bar Code Readers; Optical Remote Control; Medical Equipment; High Speed Photometry

Optical Fibers
Fiber 8-1000 µm; Standard Length 2 or 1 m; SMA terminatorsAvantes provides a diverse selection of fiber-optic cables, available in various lengths and configurations to suit your specific needs.Fiber-Optic CablesAvantes offers a wide range of fiber-optic cables, which can be manufactured in different lengths and configurations to meet your requirements. For most applications, a 2-meter length is sufficient, making it our standard fiber length.Avantes provides SMA-905 or FC/PC connectors, which can be the same or different on both ends. For certain applications, special round-to-linear fiber cables are recommended. These cables have a bundle of fibers arranged in a round pattern on one end and a linear array on the other. The linear array (typically 1mm in height) aligns with the spectrometer slit height, also 1mm, maximizing light throughput for high-sensitivity applications. Fiber-optic cable types and diameters are recommended based on the wavelength range and sensitivity required for a measurement. Generally, different fiber types are classified as follows: for the UV range, high OH UV/VIS fiber is used. For measurements below 240 nm in the UV, special high OH UV/VIS fiber called solarization-resistant fiber (SR) is available. For longer wavelengths, low OH VIS/NIR fiber is recommended. Our standard broadband fiber combines the performance of UV, UV-SR, and IR fibers, offering the best of both worlds.Depending on application requirements, Avantes offers various jacketing options, including Kevlar-reinforced PVC sleeving with PTFE inner tubing (Standard), heavy industrial chrome-plated brass mono-coil, stainless steel (BX), silicone-coated stainless steel mono-coil (MS), flexible chrome-plated brass outer jacket with hooked profile (ME), and other special jacketings upon request. For high-temperature applications, special high-temperature epoxy (HT) is available and should be specified at the time of order.Recommended wavelengths for different cables:200-2500 nm: UV/VIS/NIR (UVIR)UV/IR available in core sizes 100, 200,400, 600 μm200-800 nm: Solarization-resistant (-SR)250-800 nm: UV/VIS (UV)350-2500 nm: VIS/NIR (IR)Multi-Furcated Fiber-Optic CablesFor simultaneous multi-point measurements and use with Avantes multi-channel spectrometers, multi-furcated fiber-optic cables are essential. These assemblies can function as either a combiner or splitter of light, featuring multiple legs on one side that converge into a single connector on the opposite side. Avantes offers virtually any combination possible, tailored to meet your specific requirements.Typical setups that require multi-furcated cables are:Various types of connectors, jacketings, and fibre sizes are available for these multi-furcated fiber cables.
