Large-area UV-enhanced Silicon Avalanche Photodiodes APD

Product information "Large-area UV-enhanced Silicon Avalanche Photodiodes APD"

Active Area 5x5-10x10 mm; Responsivity 16-52 A/W; Capacitance 30-100 pF; Package Square Flat Pack; Response Time 2, 5 ns

Excelitas’ series of large-area, UV-enhanced silicon avalanche photodiodes (Si APDs) are intended for use in a wide variety of broadband low-light-level applications covering the spectral range from below 400 to over 700 nm.

These low-noise, low-capacitance and high-gain Si APDs are packaged in a square flat pack with or without windows or on ceramics. The no-window devices can detect direct radiation of X-rays and electrons at the energies listed, and the windowed packages are best for easy scintillator coupling.

The C30739ECERH and C30739ECERH-2 short-wavelength, enhanced silicon avalanche photodiode (Si APD) cover the spectral range from less than 400 nm to greater than 700 nm. With low noise, high gain, low capacitance and an enhanced UV-response with a quantum efficiency above 70% at 430 nm, these Si APDs are designed for low-light-level applications such as molecular imaging. Their ceramic carrier package allows for easy handling and coupling to scintillation crystals such as LSO and BGO.

The C30703FH and C30703FH-200 series of silicon avalanche photodiodes (Si APD) with dimensions of 10 x 10 mm are designed for extremely large areas and offered in a flat-pack package suitable for radiation detection. This series is enhanced for blue-wavelength response and has a peak quantum efficiency at ~ 530 nm.

The large area C30626FH series silicon avalanche photodiodes (Si APD) with dimensions of 4.7 x 4.7 mm use a standard reach-through structure, have peak detection at about 900 nm, and are offered in a flat-pack package for either direct detection or easy coupling to scintillator crystals.

Hybrid Optical APD Receiver Modules
Active Area Diameter 0.08-1.1 mm; Responsivity 90- 3,000 kV/W; NEP 10-220 fW/√Hz; Package TO-8, TO-8 Flange, Custom; System Bandwidth 50, 200 MHzExcelitas’ hybrid optical APD receiver modules are comprised of a photodetector (PIN or APD) and a transimpedance amplifier in the same hermetically sealed package. Having both an amplifier and photodetector in the same package allows low-noise pickup from the surrounding environment and reduces parasitic capacitance from interconnect allowing lower-noise operation.The C30950EH is a silicon avalanche photodiode (Si APD) amplifier module with 50 MHz system bandwidth and includes Excelitas’ C30817 silicon avalanche photodiode (APD) . With a useful diameter of 0.8 mm, the C30950EH provides good response between 400 and 1100 nm and is supplied in a modified 12-lead TO-8 package. The C30950EH is the cost-effective, pin-compatible alternative to the C30659 series employing a bipolar amplifier.The C30659 series includes a silicon (Si) or InGaAs avalanche photodiode (APD) with a hybrid preamplifier, in the same hermetically sealed TO-8 package, to allow for ultra-low noise operation, and features an inverting amplifier design with an emitter follower used as an output buffer stage. The Si APDs used in these devices are the same as used in Excelitas’ C30817EH, C30902EH , C30954EH and C30956EH products , while the InGaAs APDs are used in Excelitas’ C30645EH and C30662EH products . These detectors with 50 or 200 MHz system bandwidth provide very good response between 830 and 1550 nm and very fast rise- and fall-times at all wavelengths. The preamplifier section of the module uses a very low-noise GaAs FET front end designed to operate at higher transimpedance than Excelitas’ standard C30950 Series.The C30659-UV-1 includes a UV-enhanced silicon avalanche photodiode (Si APD) providing very good response between 400 nm and 950 nm.The LLAM series of fully RoHS-compliant APD modules features an avalanche photodiode chip, thermoelectric (TE) cooler, and preamplifier, all in a single hermetically-sealed, modified 12-lead TO-66 flange package. The modules are easy to install and offer additional heat sinking. The use of a TE-cooler ensures lower noise and constant responsivity over a +5 to +40 °C ambient temperature range. The LLAM Series modules with 50 or 200 MHz system bandwidth are designed for the detection of high-speed, low-light analog signals.Applications: Laser Range Finder; Video Scanning Imagers; High-speed Analytical Instrumentation; Free-space Communication; UV-VIS-NIR Light Sensing; Distributed Temperature Sensing Part Number Detector Active Diameter Bandwidth Responsivity NEP Output Voltage Swing, 50 Ω Package Download         500 nm 900 nm 1060 nm 1550 nm         C30659-UV-1 UV-Enhanced 1.1 mm 50 MHz 3,000 kV/W - - - 10 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-900-R5BH C30902 0.5 mm 200 MHz - 400 kV/W - - 40 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-900-R8AH C30817 0.8 mm 50 MHz - 3,000 kV/W - - 12 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1060-R8BH C30954 0.8 mm 200 MHz - 370 kV/W 200 kV/W - 100 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1060E-R8BH C30954 0.8 mm 200 MHz - 370 kV/W 200 kV/W - 100 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1060-3AH C30956 3 mm 50 MHz - 450  kV/W 280 kV/W - 90 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1550-R08BH C30645 0.08 mm 200 MHz - - - 90 kV/W 220 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1550E-R08BH C30645 0.08 mm 200 MHz - - - 90 kV/W 220 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1550-R2AH C30662 0.2 mm 50 MHz - - - 340 kV/W 130 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1550E-R2AH C30662 0.2 mm 50 MHz - - - 340 kV/W 130 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30919E C30817 0.8 mm 40 MHz - 1,000 kV/W 250 kV/W - 20 fW/√Hz 0.7 V TO, 1 in - C30950EH C30817 0.8 mm 50 MHz - 560 kV/W 140 kV/W - 27 fW/√Hz 0.7 V TO-8 Datasheet LLAM-1550-R08BH C30645 0.08 mm 200 MHz - - - 90 kV/W 220 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1550E-R08BH C30645 0.08 mm 200 MHz - - - 90 kV/W 220 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1550-R2AH C30662 0.2 mm 50 MHz - - - 340 kV/W 130 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-900-R5BH C30902 0.5 mm 200 MHz - 400 kV/W - - 40 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1550E-R2AH C30662 0.2 mm 50 MHz - - - 340 130 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1060-R8BH C30954 0.8 mm 200 MHz - 370 kV/W 200 kV/W - 50 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1060E-R8BH C30954 0.8 mm 200 MHz - 370 kV/W 200 kV/W - 50 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1060-R8BH-FC C30954 0.8 mm 200 MHz - 370 kV/W 200 kV/W - 55 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE+FC Datasheet HUV-1100BGH UV-100 2.5 mm 0.001 MHz - 130 MV/W - - 30 fW/√Hz 5 min CUSTOM - HUV-2000BH UV-215 5.4 mm 0.001 MHz - 130 MV/W - - 70 fW/√Hz 6 min CUSTOM - HeliX-902-200 C30902 0.5 mm 200 MHz - 650 kV/W - - 50 fW/√Hz 1  V CUSTOM - HeliX-954-200 C30954 0.8 mm 150 MHz - 650 kV/W 360 kV/W - 110 fW/√Hz 1  V CUSTOM - Please note that Excelitas products are available from us only in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
