MORE IMPORTANT:

We now offer UV "Probes".  A "Probe" consists of a UV photodiode in a robust housing with (or without) an amplifier.  CLICK HERE for UV Probe info.

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

• A ONE PAGE SUMMARY of the line.  START HERE.
• "TOCON" hybrid amplified SiC photodiodes in TO-39 packages (add +5V and a readout)
• UV-C, UV-B and UV-A filtered devices
• 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.
