InGaAs TE Cooled Photodiodes
Product information "InGaAs TE Cooled Photodiodes"
Wavelength Range 1.2-2.6 µm; Active Area Diameter 0.5-5 mm; Responsivity 0.80-1.3 A/W; Dark Current 0.03-50 nA; Capacitance 60-3500 pF
New England Photoconductor’s range of thermoelectrically (TE) cooled indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) photodiode series comprises IC1 (1-stage TE cooled, -10°C) or IC2 (2-stage TE cooled, -20°C) versions, suitable for typical wavelengths of 1300 nm or 1550 mm, as well as extended InGaAs PIN photodiodes that can be used for wavelengths up to 2600 nm: IE6C1 C1 (1-stage TE cooled, -10°C) or IE6C2 (2-stage TE cooled, -20°C).
Available in several different packaging options like TO-5, TO-8, TO-37, or TO-66, these detectors feature active areas with diameters ranging from 500 µm all the way to 5 mm. Custom filters, windows and packages are available on request.
Beyond its range of component-type InGaAs photodiodes, New England Photoconductor also provides the AP300-T2 TE cooled InGaAs infrared sensor in a compact (38 mm diameter x 63.5 mm length) and solid case with flexible mounting options – all that is needed is a DC power supply.
Available with active sensor area diameters of 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm and 2.0 mm, the AP300-T2 is an amplified extended InGaAs sensor with a 2-stage thermo-electric cooler (TEC). A low-noise amplifier provides detector-noise limited performance up to 2.6 µm in a compact package. You need an OEM custom configuration?
