InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode (APD) Datasheet
The InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode (APD) family consists of three devices (IAV008-T46, IAV020-T46, and IAV035-T46) with active diameters of 80, 200, and 350 µm, all operating across a spectral range of 1.0 to 1.63 µm in a TO-46 package. These APDs are designed for high-sensitivity applications such as LiDAR, free space optics, optical communications, and optical time domain reflectometry.
Small Area InGaAs Photodiodes Datasheet
The Small Area InGaAs Photodiode family covers active diameters from 100 µm to 1 mm across five part numbers, with a spectral response of 800 to 1700 nm and a peak wavelength of 1550 nm. Target applications include optical power measurement, spectroscopy, medical diagnostics, and fiber optic receivers, with options for extended cutoff wavelengths up to 2.6 µm and integrated electronics. Devices are available in TO-46, TO-18, and LCC-6 packages and carry qualifications including ISO 9001:2015, MIL-STD-883/750, and ITAR registration.
