Opto Diode Acquires International Radiation Detectors

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
NEWBURY PARK, Calif., Jan 11, 2011 — Opto Diode Corp., a division of ITW and a member of the ITW Photonics Group, announced its recent acquisition of International Radiation Detectors (IRD) Inc., a semiconductor radiation device manufacturer. IRD’s operations will be moved and incorporated in to Opto Diode’s domestic facility in Newbury Park by mid-January. Raj Korde, founder of IRD, and his associate, Dejan Jovanovic, will join Opto Diode as full-time members. “We are extremely pleased to announce this acquisition and we look forward to offering the IRD brand radiation detectors for the measurement...Read full article

    extreme ultraviolet
    Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) refers to a specific range of electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. EUV radiation has wavelengths between 10 and 124 nanometers, which corresponds to frequencies in the range of approximately 2.5 petahertz to 30 exahertz. This range is shorter in wavelength and higher in frequency compared to the far-ultraviolet and vacuum ultraviolet regions. Key points about EUV include: Source: EUV radiation is produced by extremely hot and energized...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
    quantum efficiency
    Quantum efficiency (QE) is a measure of the effectiveness with which a device or system, typically in the context of photonics or electronics, converts incoming photons (light) into a useful output signal or response. It is expressed as a ratio or percentage and quantifies the number of electrons or charge carriers generated in response to the incident photons. In other words, quantum efficiency provides a measure of how well a device can capture and utilize photons to produce an electric...
    radiation
    The emission and/or propagation of energy through space or through a medium in the form of either waves or corpuscular emission.
    radiation detector
    Any of the many devices used to detect the presence of radiation from a specific region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
    ultraviolet
    That invisible region of the spectrum just beyond the violet end of the visible region. Wavelengths range from 1 to 400 nm.
    visible
    That term pertaining to the spectral region that can be perceived by the eye.
