Product information "InGaAs Room Temperature PIN Photodiodes"
Wavelength Range 1.2-2.6 µm; Active Area Diameter 0.05-5 mm; Responsivity 0.80-1.3 A/W; Dark Current 0.05-100,000 nA; Bandwidth 0.7-40 MHz
New England Photoconductor’s range of room temperature indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) PIN photodiode series comprises of standard versions (I series), suitable for typical wavelengths of 1300 nm or 1550 mm, as well as extended InGaAs PIN photodiodes (IE6 series) that can be used for wavelengths up to 2600 nm.
Available in several different packaging options like bare chip, ceramic carrier, TO-5, TO-8 or TO-46 (also lensed), these detectors feature active areas with diameters ranging from 50 µm all the way to 5 mm. Custom filters, windows and packages are available on request.
