Silicon detectors lose effectiveness past 1000 nm, right where fiber optics, LiDAR, spectroscopy operate. See why InGaAs photodiodes fill that gap, what separates PIN from APD architectures, and how to choose the right detector for your system.
Everyone’s talking GPUs, but the AI buildout has a quieter bottleneck: getting data into and out of chips fast enough. As data centers push toward 800G and 1.6T, silicon can’t detect the light. Germanium and InGaAs photodiodes are the unsung heroes making it work.
Introducing our new interactive Photodetector Selector! Engineers can now navigate detector types, key specs, and real-world trade-offs with confidence. From LiDAR to telecom to spectroscopy, find the right photodetector for your application fast.
Choosing a photodetector isn’t just a spec-matching exercise. The wrong choice drives redesign cycles, calibration overhead, and supplier risk that never appear on a datasheet. Here’s how to evaluate detectors the way your product’s lifecycle actually demands.
GPD Optoelectronics, a U.S. manufacturer of high-performance InGaAs and Germanium photodiodes, announced that several of its most widely used detectors are now available globally on DigiKey, giving engineers easy access to devices for NIR and SWIR applications.
GPD Optoelectronics Corp., a designer and manufacturer of high-performance infrared and optical detection solutions, announced the release of its MCPR Multi-Cell Photoreceiver Development Kit for evaluating quad- and octo-cell photodiodes in space and defense.
GPD Optoelectronics Corp. (GPD), a U.S. manufacturer of high-performance InGaAs and Germanium photodiodes, announced it has been awarded a $14,455,986 contract to develop next-generation Software-defined Tactical Optical Modem for Performance and Ruggedization (STOMPeR) technology.
