Our line of visible hybrid photodiodes have unique capabilities. Our Silicon TOCONs, derived from our successful UV TOCON line, provide amplified 0 – 5 V output over an extremely large sensitivity range. Devices are sensitive from microlux to Megalux. Important for system designers is the ability to select the sensitivity range that matches your requirements, and take advantage of the resulting 0-5 V output over your chosen range. This results in greatly simplified front end electronics
