Opto Diode Announces AXUV300C, A Large, Rectangular Photodiode For Electron Detection

CAMARILLO, Calif. – Opto Diode Corporation, an ITW company, introduces the AXUV300C photodiode with a large 331 mm² rectangular active area. The new device is part of Opto Diode’s AXUV detector family that features high-performance detection of photons, electrons, and radiation.

The detector package includes 2 anode and 2 cathode pins, which allows for more versatile connections. There is no window to allow detection of energy shorter than 200nm. Other features include a response time of 15 microseconds. The large active area device features electron detection as low as 200 eV.
