Request InfoAdvanced PhotonixA new line of hybridized photodetectors from Advanced Photonix Inc. consists of a PIN photodiode and transimpedance amplifier within a hermetically sealed TO-5 package. An external feedback resistor and capacitor allow the user to set the transimpedance gain and bandwidth. A low-dark-current, photodiode coupled with a low-input bias current 28-MHz gain bandwidth amplifier enables use over a wide range of transimpedance gains and bandwidths. UV-, blue/VIS- and red-enhanced photodiodes are available. Standard detector active areas are 5.1 mm2 and 100 mm2. Other options are available to OEMs...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 6/16/2023Multi-Camera Robotic Systeme-con Systems Inc. offers multi-camera solutions integrated with the Qualcomm® Robotics RB5 Kit for high-performance processing and advanced capabilities for object tracking, detection,...Photonics.com 1/13/2023Nano SensorsThe NanoCeramic series of sensors from Queensgate Instruments provides nanoscale precision for demanding environments such as ultrahigh vacuum to 1010 Torr and a range of temperatures from cryogenic...Photonics Spectra July 2023 IssueDigital Compact LaserThe Digital Compact Laser from ProPhotonix Ltd. features an 8-mm diameter for digital control and monitoring where space is restricted.
