Excelitas’ VTB Series of blue-enhanced P on N silicon planar photodiodes are designed for optimum response through the visible part of the spectrum. Photodiodes from this series are primarily intended to be used in photovoltaic mode but can also be used with a small reverse bias.

Within the VTB Series, versions with a UV transmitting window, exhibiting excellent response in the UV, or built-in infrared (IR) rejection filtering for applications requiring a response approximating the human eye are available.

All blue-enhanced silicon photodiodes in this VTB Series exhibit very high shunt resistance. This characteristic leads to very low offsets when used in high gain transimpedance op-amps circuits.

Some examples for the broad range of available variants:

  • VTB1012H and VTB1012BH are small-area planar silicon photodiodes in a flat-window TO-46 package.
  • VTB4051H and VTB8341H are planar silicon photodiodes mounted on a ceramic substrate and coated with a layer of clear epoxy.
  • VTB6061 types are large-area planar silicon photodiodes in a flat-window TO-8 package.

Applications: Ambient Light Sensing; UV and Blue Light Sensing; Flame Monitoring; Light Meters; Photometry

FCI-H125/250G-GaAs-100 GaAs Photodiode-Amplifier Hybrids

650 to 850 nm; Active Area 0.008 mm2; AA Dia. 0.1 mm; Responsivity 1,000 to 1,700 V/W; Transimpedance 2,800 Ω; Package TO-46, TO-52 OSI Optoelectronics’ FCI-H125/250G-GaAs-100 series with active area sizes of 100 µm is a compact integration of OSI Optoelectronics’ high-speed GaAs photodetector with a wide dynamic range transimpedance amplifier (TIA). Combining the detector with the TIA in a hermetically sealed 4-pin TO-46 or TO-52 package provides ideal conditions for high-speed signal amplification. Low capacitance, low dark current and high responsivity from 650 to 860 nm make these devices ideal for high bit rate receivers used in LAN, MAN and other high-speed communication systems. TO packages come standard with a lensed cap to enhance coupling efficiency or with a broadband double-sided anti-reflective (AR) coated flat window. The FCI-H125/250G-GaAs-100 series is also offered with FC, SC, ST and SMA receptacles. Key Features: GaAs Photodetector / Low-noise Transimpedance Amplifier Hybrid High Bandwidth Wide Dynamic Range Hermetically Sealed TO-46 or TO-52 Can Single +3.3 to +5 V Power Supply Spectral Range 650 to 850 nm Differential Output Applications: High-speed Optical Communications; Gigabit Ethernet; Fibre Channel; ATM; SONET OC-48 / SDH STM-16
