We offer SiC (silicon carbide) photodiodes, which are useful from 210 to 380 nm. Our SiC chips are made by Cree Research in USA and packaged in Germany by sglux GmbH.

• sg01S SiC Photodiode
• sg01S-ISO Isolated SiC Photodiode
• sg01S-HT High Temperature SiC Photodiode
• sg01S-C UV-C filtered SiC Photodiode
• sg01L SiC Photodiode
• sg01M SiC Photodiode
• ERYF* Erythemal SiC Photodiode

We also offer first-stage electroncs for these devices:

• Hardened SiC probes for water or air
• sg01M-Lens LARGE AREA (Lensed) SiC Photodiode

We offer GaN (gallium nitride) and AlGaN (aluminum gallium nitride) photodiodes, which are useful at wavelengths shorter than 370 nm. 

• GaN and AlGaN Photodiodes

TiO2 is a NEW material with 210 to 390 nm spectral response.  It is inexpensive and available in large active areas.  Especially interesting is the NEW erythemal-response device model "EryCA".  Click here for info on the "EryCA" or click below for the whole TiO2 26-page leaflet.

The many possible options among our ultraviolet detectors sometimes make it difficult to identify the most appropriate detector.  The following pages offers some suggestions.

How to choose a UV Detector generally discusses applications and what does what.  The files below fill in more details.
