OSI Optoelectronics’ Photop™ series, combines a photodiode with an operational amplifier in the same package. Photop™ general-purpose detectors have a spectral range from either 350 to 1100 nm or 200 to 1100 nm (UDT/OSI-XXXUV types).

Photop series devices have an integrated package ensuring low noise output under a variety of operating conditions. The op-amps inside the Photop hybrids are specifically selected by OSI Optoelectronics engineers for compatibility to the suppliers’s photodiodes.

Among the broad range of specific parameters are low noise, low drift and the capability of supporting a variety of gains and bandwidths determined by the external feedback components. Operation from DC level to several MHz is possible in an either unbiased configuration for low-speed, low-drift applications or biased for faster response time.

Any modification of the above devices is possible. The modifications can be simply adding a bandpass optical filter, integration of additional chip (hybrid) components inside the same package, utilizing a different op-amp, photodetector replacement, modified package design and/or mount on PCB or ceramic.
