Excelitas’ C30927 family of avalanche photodiode (APD) arrays and quadrants utilize the double-diffused “reach-through“ structure. This structure provides ultra-high sensitivity at 400 nm to 1000 nm.
The C30927 quadrant structure has a common avalanche junction, with separation of the quadrants achieved by segmentation of the light entry p+ surface opposite the junction. With this design, there is no dead space between the elements and therefore no loss of response at boresight.
The C30927EH-01, -02 and -03 APD arrays and quadrants are optimized for use at wavelengths of 1060, 900, and 800 nm respectively. Each device type will provide high responsivity and excellent performance when operated within about 50 nm of the specified wavelength.
The C30985E is a 25-element silicon avalanche photodiode (Si APD) consisting of a double diffused “reach-through” structure.
The standard versions of the Excelitas C30737 silicon APD array series are available with 16 or 64 elements and provide high responsivity between 500 nm and 1000nm. The standard versions are available either in a compact surface-mount “top-looking” leadless package (C30737MA) or in a BGA type “top-looking” package (C30737GA).
Both packages are ideally suited for high volume, cost-effective applications where a high gain APD is required. The leadless SMD and BGA packaged parts are RoHS-compliant and suitable for reflow soldering.
The C30737MH series of LLC SMD packaged EPI APDs has the smallest footprint SMD packages.
The C30737GA-02-64-90 silicon avalanche photodiode array (Si APD array) provides high responsivity between 500 nm and 1000 nm and is available in a BGA-type “top-looking” package.

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 MHz
Excelitas’ 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.

Photodiodes & IREDs for Smoke Detection
Excelitas provides photodiodes and IREDs as well as custom assemblies with specified signal level range to address the requirements of electro-optical smoke detectors.
An electro-optical smoke detector consists of an infrared LED light emitting diode (IRED) and photodiode assembly which exhibits a signal under the presence of smoke in the detection volume (smoke chamber). Signal range under smoke and clean-air conditions and their long-term stability are key features of a smoke detector module.
Such an assembly can be an optical block containing an IRED and PD for (SMD) board soldering or the complete smoke chamber, which are produced in high volumes. In addition to the components presented in the tables above, Excelitas can provide higher value-add assemblies for smoke detection applications, including the following:
An optics block which consists in a Photodiode-IRED pair selected, assembled into a plastic housing and tested to have a controlled range of transfer function between the IRED to photodiode signal under given smoke conditions.
A smoke chamber with base which can be easily integrated on a PCB for use with the optics block.
For further details on these or other sub-assemblies, including readout ICs, please contact the AMS Technologies experts to discuss your requirements.

Excelitas PYD Series of dual-element pyrodetectors (PIR) are well established as the performance standard in motion detection – now also available as “DigiPyro” variants, featuring internal integrated circuitry to convert the element signals into a 14-bit digital output.
Excelitas’ design comprises two sensing elements connected to each other in reverse polarity to provide a signal with motion and common mode rejection for non-moving radiation. Users can specify various window sizes to meet desired fields-of-view. PYD DigiPyro dual-element pyrodetectors cover the advanced family of DigiPyros, including Excelitas’ low-power DigiPyros for battery-operated motion detection.
Excelitas’ newly improved PYD 1788 and PYD 1798 dual-element DigiPyros are now re-engineered for improved energy efficiency of a mere 1.8 V at 5 µA power requirement, making them ideal motion detection sensors for extended service life in mobile and remote battery-operated devices. Both dual-element pyrodetectors feature two elements in series connection in TO-5 metal housing with optical window options.
The PYD 1788 has the standard size window for economy and mid-range sensing, while PYD 1798 has an enlarged window enabling broader fields-of-view. The element configurations are identical, along with the internal electronic circuits. Both the PYD 1788 and PYD 1798 models include a built-in temperature diode which provides output related to the pyro’s internal temperature. This makes the output signal into a 14 +14 bit signal, communicated in one digital bit stream of 2x14-bit output via a single wire “Direct Link” connection to a suitable host microprocessor.
The PYD 1794 dual-element Digipyro PIR pyrodetector is the low-profile version of the DigiPyro family and features two elements in series connection in a low-profile TO-39 metal housing with optical window. An internal diode provides output related to the pyro’s internal temperature. This makes the output signal into a 14 +14 bit signal.
As the latest addition to Excelitas’ DigiPyro detector offering, the PYD 2792 dual-element PIR pyrodetector features two standard elements in parallel connection designed into a compact SMD (surface mount) housing with optical window. This design streamlines integration to the host system with significantly reduced form factor. An internal integrated circuitry converts the element signals into a 14 bit digital data output which can be viewed through the digital interface. And an internal diode provides output related to the pyro’s internal temperature. This makes the output signal into a 14 +14 bit signal.
The PYD 2592 is the low-power version of PYD 2792, with dual-element pyrodetectors in a compact SMD housing. The sensor includes a fully configurable motion detection unit with an interrupt feature to wake up a sleeping host system. This allows for lowest power consumptions and is therefore ideally suitable for battery operation in compact and mobile applications.
An internal diode provides output related to the pyro’s internal temperature. This makes the output signal into a 14 +14 bit signal. With its reduced voltage requirements, this device is well suited for battery operation in compact and mobile applications.
With a mere 1.8 V power supply voltage and significantly reduced supply current, Excelitas’ PYD 1588 and PYD 1598 are the first real low-power enhanced DigiPyro Pyrosensors. Both are fully integrated, dual-element detectors with two different window size options, offering added features and low-current power consumption for extended remote motion detection in battery operated devices.
The power requirements of the system level can be further reduced with the wake-up/sleep feature of this detector series, which also promotes power efficiency and extends service life. PYD 1588 and PYD 1598 low-power DigiPyro pyrodetectors are ideal for prolonged battery-operated motion detection. A selectable band-pass function and pulse count option further compliment the full functionality of these devices.
With a diameter of 4.7 mm, the PYD 5731 miniature, dual-element DigiPyro® pyrosensor is one of the smallest designs in the Excelitas pyrodetector portfolio. The PYD 5731 features two miniaturized elements in series connection in TO-46 metal case (4.7 mm dia. X 3.3 mm height) with optical window.
The PYD 5731 offers the same Direct Link interface as the regular PYD 1798 DigPyro. The miniature housing, in conjunction with a reduced element size and spacing, enables customers to reduce the size of their optics and innovate more compact product designs.

This series’ design features two sensing elements connected to each other in reverse polarity (opposed series connection) with a FET in-source follower circuit to provide an AC-signal with motion and common mode rejection for non-moving radiation. Users can specify various window sizes to meet desired fields-of-view.
Integrated into a TO-5 metal housing with a small optical window, the Excelitas PYD 1378 dual-element pyrodetector (replacement to the LHi 778) delivers exceptional economy and value for high-volume motion detection applications without sacrificing performance.
PYD 1388 (replacement to LHi 878) and PYD 1398 (replacement to LHi 968) dual-element pyrodetectors represent Excelitas’ standard analog pyrodetector offering. They are integrated into a robust TO-5 metal housing with an optical window. The PYD 1388 is the base model, while the PYD 1398 is equipped with additional features such as a larger window to reduce white light sensitivity and a gate resistor for better low-temperature performance.
Both sensors are available in two EMI versions. The standard version features one RC-filter at drain and source pin. For applications in heavy EMI conditions (5G and antennas close to the sensor), a version with an additional RC-filtering stage is available to further reduce interference effects of electromagnetic disturbances.
PYD 1384 (replacement to LHi 874) and PYD 1394 (replacement to LHi 944) dual-element pyrodetectors are the low-profile variants of the PYD 1388/1398 standard analog PIRs in a low-profile TO-39 metal housing with optical window. The PYD 1384 is the standard base model of the low-profile series, while the PYD 1394 is equipped with a larger window that provides a wider field-of-view.
An additional drain resistor and output capacitor further reduce interference effects of electromagnetic disturbances for EMI sensitive applications. Ideally suited for motion detection, the low-profile design permits two pyros to be space-efficiently integrated together to enable a 180° field-of-view.

Excelitas’ PYQ Series of four-element pyrodetectors provides quad PIR designs in single- and dual-channel outputs, with analog outputs or with the enhanced function and streamlined integration of Excelitas’ DigiPyro product line with digital output.
Pyrodetectors having four sensing elements may be configured in various geometrical forms. The most prominent design today is referenced as “quad”, which is two pairs of elements in a square form layout. With the spacing and polarity of the elements, different variations are available. Most of the applications for such detectors are ceiling-mount sensing devices.
Latest versions of PYQ Series quad pyros include the enhanced functionality as known of the dual-element, low-power DigiPyro PIRs PYD 1588 and PYD 1598 , so offering a dual-channel quad DigiPyro with sleep mode, sensitivity adjust, bandwidth selection and window time.
PYQ 1398, PYQ 1348 Single-Output Quad PyrosExcelitas' PYQ 1348 and PYQ 1398 single-output quad pyrodetectors provide four sensing elements in a geometric square placement. Electrically, all PIR elements are electrically connected in series to one FET in source follower connection, forming one common analog output signal.
The two versions vary from each other by different window size (rectangular window or square window size) and element spacings. Different geometrical placements are available on request. When being applied with suitable lens or mirror optics, these detectors are used in ceiling mount devices.
The Excelitas PYQ 2498 dual-output quad pyrodetector provides four elements separated into two pairs of two elements in a geometric square placement. Two PIR elements per pair are electrically connected in series to one FET in source follower connection forming one individual analog output signal for each pair. The TO-5 housing includes an optical window in rectangular shape. Geometrically the two pairs have a narrow spacing. For better EMI protection, the detector includes an internal RC circuit.
The PYQ 1548 low-power quad-element DigiPyro pyrodetector configures all four PIR elements combined to one digital output with exceptional energy-efficiency. The user selects and sets individual functions. A single-wire connection with separate input pin allows setting of sensitivity, bandpass selection, pulse count and wake up. This provides full functionality of a complete PIR sensing device when all following circuitry is in sleep mode. PYQ 1548 PIRs are also available with smaller elements of 0.8 mm x 0.8 mm - suitable for compact lenses and short detection distances.
The PYQ 1748 quad-element DigiPyro pyrodetector provides economical quad configuration with all four elements combined to one common output. This enables ceiling-mount applications when applied with suitable lens optics. TO-5 housing is provided with rectangular window to accommodate wider field-of-view. Standard geometrical element layout offers equal distance and spacing with cross polarity.
PYQ 2898 and PYQ 5848 quad-element DigiPyro pyrodetectors are distinguished by two pairs of PIR sensing elements with digitized signals for each pair. Together with the signal of an internal reference diode, the output via digital link forms a 3x14 bit stream. As to the spacing of the sensing elements, various designs are available. The TO-5 housing is provided with suitable window size to accommodate the field-of-view of the element configuration.

PYS Series Single-element Pyrodetectors PIR
Responsivity 3.5 kV/W Typ.; Max. Noise 50 µVpp; Spec. Detectivity 17 x 107cm*√Hz/W; FoV (Horizontal/Vertical) 77°/77°, 135°/120°; Operating Voltage 2-10 VDC
Single-element pyroelectric detectors (PIR) are often applied for temperature and gas measuring applications in one-channel or dual-channel variants, which is then one output per element. Excelitas offers its PYS Series of single-element pyrodetectors as thermally compensated devices.
The principle of gas monitor application is called NDIR. NDIR requires detectors with narrow-band optical filters. Excelitas provides a range of suited filter windows for those gases which show an absorption band in the IR spectral range.
Excelitas’ PYS 3198 TC GX (replacement to LHi 807) is a single-channel, parallel format temperature-compensated elements PIR detector based on lithium-tantalate (Li-Ta). In the design for PYS 3198 TC, a single sensing element is placed in the center of the detector. For thermal compensation an additional element, (which is blinded from radiation), is connected in parallel.
The TO-5 metal housing is equipped with an optical filter window. For gas measurement applications with Excelitas’ single-element pyrodetectors, typically the spectral range is narrowed to match the gas absorption in the IR range. As such the window is acting as a narrow-band optical filter.
Almost like two detectors in one housing, the PYS 3428 (replacement to LHi 814) dual-channel, single-element pyrodetector includes two single-elements which are each thermally compensated by an additional blinded element sitting aside. Each output is optically linked to an individual optical window within the TO-5 metal housing. For each window, a variety of narrow-band optical filters are available to meet a range of specific sensing requirements.
Each element has its own individual output signals, thus the name dual-channel. Since the PYS 3428 Pyrodetector has been specifically designed for gas measuring applications, it comes with narrow-band optical filter windows.

The C30741 models provide fast response and good quantum efficiency in the spectral range between 300 nm and 1100 nm. Designed for high-speed, high-volume production and cost-sensitive applications, these photodiodes are offered in plastic TO-style packages with a visible blocking filter option.
The C308xxEH series are high-quality silicon PIN photodiodes with a 1 to 11 mm active diameter chip in a hermetically sealed TO-5, TO-8 or TO-18 package, designed for the 300 nm to 1100 nm wavelength range. This product series features a broad range of photosensitive surface areas from 0.8 mm² to 100 mm².
FFD-100H, FND-100GH and FND-100QH are large-area silicon PIN photodiodes with a 2.5 mm active diameter in a hermetically sealed TO-5 package. These photodiodes provide high responsivity from 400 nm to 1150 nm, with a peak responsivity at 850 or 920 nm, and feature ultra-fast rise and fall time, low NEP and low operating voltage. The FND-100QH has a quartz window, extending the photodiode’s UV response down to 200 nm, while the FFD-200-H features 5.0 mm active diameter in a hermetically sealed TO-8 package
Excelitas’ UV and HUV series are high-quality Si PIN photodiodes in hermetically-sealed TO packages with quartz or glass window, designed for the 220 nm to 1100 nm wavelength region with enhanced operation in the UV range. 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.

SPCM Single Photon Detector Modules
Active Area Diameter 0.18 mm; Max. Dark Count Rate 25-2,500 c/s; Photon Detection Efficiency 60%-75%; Max. Count Rate 40 M c/s; Dead Time 22, 50 ns; Pulse Width 10, 30 ns
Excelitas’ SPCM single photon counting modules are self-contained modules that meet the low-light-level detection demands of confocal microscopy, fluorescence, luminescence, and TCSPC, particle sizing and quantum communications.
SPCM modules use a unique silicon avalanche photodiode (SLiK) with a 180 µm diameter circular active area, achieving peak photon detection efficiency greater than 65% to even 75% (depending on model) with unmatched uniformity over the full active area.
The photodiode is both thermoelectrically cooled and temperature controlled, ensuring stabilized performance despite ambient temperature changes. Operating temperature range has been increased and the module will function with case temperatures between +5 ˚C and +70 ˚C.
SPCM single photon counting modules are ideal for laboratory and OEM use and offer market-leading photon detection efficiency (PDE), low after-pulsing, high linear dynamic range, and low dark counts.
Excelitas' newly enhanced SPCM-AQRH single photon counting module detects single photons over the wavelength range of 400 nm to 1064 nm with performance parameters superior to other solid state or vacuum-tube based photon counters.
The SPCM-AQRH achieves >70% peak photon detection efficiency at 650 nm. A TTL-level pulse is generated for each photon detected and the signal is available at the BNC connector at the rear of the module. The module comes as standard with a free-space window to the APD, with FC fiber adapter, C-mount or tube cage mount bracket/adapter options.
Recent electronic circuit enhancements have reduced the minimum dead time to less than 25 ns, thereby increasing linearity and improving the dynamic range of the module. Timing resolution of the module was also improved significantly. The SPCM-AQRH has internal protection circuitry that protects the avalanche photodiode and the module electronics from damage due to accidental overload from exposure to ambient lighting.
The Excelitas SPCM-AQRH-WX-TR is a single photon counting module of the latest product generation, specifically selected and performance-optimized for timing resolution. This family of –TR modules is designed to support applications in time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC), fluorescence lifetime measurements and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM).
The SPCM-AQRH-WX-TR uses a specially selected SLiK silicon avalanche photodiode with timing resolution better than 250 ps while maintaining peak photon detection efficiency (PDE) of more than 75% at 650 nm over a 180 µm diameter active area. While some performance parameters, in particular afterpulse probability, are traded off against the optimized timing performance, other performance parameters of the standard SPCM-AQRH, such as outstanding uniformity, overload protection, temperature stability and linearity, are still maintained by this timing-optimized module.
The Excelitas SPCM-NIR is a single photon counting module specifically selected and performance-optimized for the near infrared wavelength spectrum. This NIR spectrum enhanced device is designed to support long range LiDAR, quantum communication and microscopy, as well as many other applications.
The SPCM-NIR uses a specially selected SLiK silicon avalanche photodiode with peak single photon detection efficiency typically better than 73%. This module achieves enhanced red and NIR sensitivity while maintaining such other performance parameters of the standard SPCM-AQRH, such as outstanding uniformity, overload protection, temperature stability and linearity.
The SPCM-AQ4C is a four-channel photon counting module capable of detecting single photons of light over the wavelength range from 400 nm to 1060 nm. Each channel is independent from the others.
The SPCM-AQ4C uses a unique silicon avalanche photodiode (SLiK) with a peak photon detection efficiency exceeding 60% at 650 nm and an improved circuit with a peak count rate >4M c/s for short bursts of time on all four channels and a count rate of 1.5 M c/s for continuous operation. There is a "dead time" of 50 ns between pulses.
The module requires +2 V, +5 V, and +30 V power supplies. The output of each channel – a TTL pulse that is 4.5 V high (into a 50 Ω load) and 25 ns wide – is available at the card edge behind the circuit board. Each TTL pulse corresponds to a detected photon. All input and output signals are available at the card connector.

Fire and Overheat Detection: IR Thermopiles, more specifically multi-pixel sensors, when integrated with a smoke detector, help to detect hot spots in a room. An emerging application is thermopile arrays combined with a surveillance camera to detect indoor or outdoor fires. Similarly, these sensors are also used in cooking ranges to monitor oven temperature and provide overheating protection.
Elevated Skin Temperature (EST) Screening: A 2-dimensional (4 x 4 pixel) array is preferred for use in measuring temperature distribution of the facial skin temperature for fixed installations or portable equipment.
Presence and Motion Detection: Multi-pixel sensors allow the detection of people moving through a room including direction of movement and approximate number of people.
