InGaAs PIN photodetectors
High-speed, low-noise detectors for 800–1700 nm applications including: ranging, test & measurement, laser engineering, medical, telecom and datacom. Active areas from 75 μm up to 3000 μm in various packages.
Extended InGaAs APDs
Reliable and low-noise detectors for 1200–2600 nm applications including: gas sensing, thermal measurements, laser engineering, medical. Active areas from 0.5m up to 1.0m in various packages.
InGaAs APDs
Our avalanche photodiodes (APDs) come in two variants: type 4 and type 5. Both are used as low-noise detectors for 900–1700 nm applications including: ranging, LIDAR, test &
measurement, laser engineering, medical, telecom and datacom.
Type 5 is the gold standard in the ranging and LIDAR industry, providing high gains and low noise operation. Both 80 and 200 um variants are available.
Type 4 is a cost-efficient alternative to the higher performing type 5, while providing sufficient gain for many applications. Both 80 and 200 um variants are available.
Silicon Photodetectors
PremierPhotonics offers high-performance silicon-based photodetectors optimized for visible and near-infrared applications. Our silicon portfolio includes both PIN photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes (APDs), delivering excellent responsivity, low noise, and high reliability for industrial sensing, LIDAR, spectroscopy, medical devices, and consumer optics.
