Exelitas‘ series of high-performance, rear-entry, “reach-through” silicon avalanche photodiodes (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 Silicon 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 1.5 mm.

C30817EH: This silicon avalanche photodiode for general-purpose applications is designed using a double-diffused “reach through” structure. This structure provides high responsivity between 400 to 1100 nm, as well as fast rise and fall times at all wavelengths. Since the fall time characteristics has no “tail”, the responsivity of the device is independent of modulation frequency up to about 200 MHz.

C30884EH: This silicon avalanche photodiode (Si APD) offers very high modulation capability with high responsivity and fast rise and fall times. Because the fall time characteristic has no “tail”, the responsivity of the device is independent of modulation frequency up to about 400 MHz. This Si APD is made using a double-diffused “reach-through” structure and is optimized for high responsivity at wavelengths of below 1000 nm.

Low noise detection is achieved by operating the UV series in photovoltaic mode (0 V bias). These PIN photodiodes also feature a wide spectral range and linearity over a wide dynamic range.The YAG series offers an exceptional 0.4 A/W at 1060 nm by using a thick silicon material. Designed with a guard ring to collect current generated outside of the active area, they are the detectors of choice when the entire chip is illuminated by reducing unwanted carriers responsible for noise.Precise beam positioning can be achieved by using Excelitas’ C30665GH-4A, C30845EH, YAG-444x or YAG-555x quadrant PIN photodiodes. They are designed with 4 pie-shaped quadrant sections created via the doping process, thus reducing the "dead" space between each quadrant to almost zero. Each quadrant is then connected to an isolated lead.Applications: LiDAR; Telecom; Instrumentation; Photometry; Laser Power Monitoring; Fiber Optic Test Equipment; High-speed Switching; Spot Tracking; Laser Range Finders; Missile Guidance; Laser Warning SystemsPlease note that Excelitas products are available from us only in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.

VTT9812FH / VTT9814FH IR-blocking Silicon Phototransistors

450-700 nm; Peak Spectral Response 585 nm; Active Area 0.192 mm2; Dark Current ≤50 nA; Short Circuit Current 60-120 µA; Sensitivity 7 A/W Typ.Excelitas’ VTT9812FH and VTT9814FH are silicon phototransistors in an infrared-blocking, flat T 1¾ end-looking package. These phototransistors provide an excellent response in the visible spectral range.Phototransistors are photodiode-amplifier combinations integrated within a single silicon chip. The phototransistor can be viewed as a photodiode whose output current is fed into the base of a conventional transistor. These photodiode-amplifier combinations are put together to overcome the major limitation of photodiodes: unity gain. The typical gain of a phototransistor can range from 100 to over 1,500.Many applications demand a greater output than can be generated by a photodiode alone. Even though the signal of a photodiode can be amplified through external circuitry, this is not always cost effective. In such cases, phototransistors provide a lower cost alternative.The VTT9812FH and VTT9814FH include the time-proven VTT silicon phototransistor chip family that customers have come to rely upon over the years, with the additional IR-blocking feature incorporated in the plastic epoxy package. As such they give an excellent response in the visible spectral range (450 to 700 nm), giving a RoHS-compliant alternative to Cadmium Sulphide photocells.The VTT9812FH is designed for dusk/dawn switching at low light levels around 0.2 to 1 fc (2 to 10 lux).With a narrow light current tolerance, the VTT9814FH is especially suited for ambient light control applications around 50 to 100 fc (500 to 1,000 lux).Key Features:Visible Light Response With IR Blocking Feature Incorporated in the Casting EpoxyLow Dark Current: Max. 50 nA at 5 V VCERoHS-compliant Alternative to PhotocellsActive Area = 0.192 mm2Short Circuit Current = Min. 60 µA (VTT9812FH), 80 µA (VTT9814FH), Max. 120 µA at 100 fc, 2,850 KSpectral Range = 450 nm to 700 nmPeak Spectral Response = 585 nmSensitivity at Peak Wavelength = 7 A/W Typ.Angular Response = ±50° at 50% ResponseSoldering Temperature = Max. +260 °CApplications: Street Light Switching; Interior and Exterior Light Control (Dusk/Dawn Switch); Automotive Headlight Dimmer; Display Contrast Control; Energy ConservationPlease note that Excelitas products are available from us only in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
