Latest Line of Avalanche Photodiodes: Deschutes BSI™ Series
The Deschutes BSI™ series is Voxtel's latest line of avalanche photodiode (APD) products. Compared to front-side-illuminated APDs, these back-side-illuminated APDs offer superior responsivity and lower capacitance. Deschutes BSI™ APDs offer typical responsivity greater than 1.0 A/W at 1550 nm and 0.73 A/W at 1064 nm, and operating gain from 3 to 20. The low-capacitance parts are well suited for high-bandwidth applications, and their low-excess-noise design makes them ideal for optical communications, laser radar (LADAR) and LIDAR, and laser rangefinding/designating applications.
Deschutes BSI™ APDs are available in 30-, 75-, and 200‑µm-diameter versions; they are available on submounts, in hermetic packages with optional thermoelectric cooling, and packaged into photoreceivers with high speed and/or large optical area. All packaged versions are available with optional fiber pigtails.
