Datasheet: Back-illuminated APD Die On Submount: Voxtel VFP-1000 Series

Industry's lowest noise GHz-rate NIR APDs, Single-Carrier-Multiplication APDs, with high gain, >50 and low excess noise (k_eff < 0.02)

Back-illuminated, high-gain, ultra-low-excess-noise single-carrier multiplication APDs (SCM-APDs) combine the industry's highest gain and lowest excess noise, providing unsurpassed sensitivity in the near-infrared spectral range from 950 to 1700 nm.

Voxtel's single-carrier multiplications APDs (SCM-APDs) are photodetectors that exceed the capabilities of conventional APDs in both gain and noise performance. This allows for active optical systems with better sensitivity, longer range, and lower laser power. APDs achieve high responsivity through internal current gain, but the usefulness of this gain is undermined by the accompanying avalanche noise. Voxtel's SCM-APDs can be operated at high gain with low noise, providing a significant advantage.
