Avalanche Photodiodes for Range Finding Applications

Source: Excelitas Technologies
High Speed, Low Voltage APD – Low Temperature Coefficient APD
The Excelitas C30737 series silicon APDs provide high responsivity between 500 nm and 1000 nm, as well as extremely fast rise times at all wavelengths with a frequency response up to 1GHz. These Avalanche Photodiodes are well suited for applications including laser range finding for 600 to 950 nm range, optical communications and analytical instrumentation.

Standard versions are available in two active area sizes: 0.23 and 0.5 mm diameter. They are offered in the traditional hermetic TO housing ("E)" as well as in cost effective plastic through-hole T1 ¾ (TO-like, "P") packages. All listed varieties are ideally suited for high volume, low cost applications.

The C30724 as a low gain APD can be operated at fixed voltage without the need of a temperature compensation.

Customizations of these APDs are offered to meet your design challenges. Operation voltage selection and binning or specific wavelength filtering options are among many of the application specific solutions available.
