Datasheet: Hermetically Packaged NIR InGaAs/InAlAs APDs: Voxtel VFI-1XC0A Series

Voxtel's VFI-1000 series of reduced noise avalanche photodiodes (R-APDs) delivers industry-leading low-noise performance in the near infrared. The VFI-1XC0A is a hermetically packaged version of Voxtel's R-APD, consisting of a high-speed InGaAs R-APD in a 3-pin TO-46 package.

The VFI-1000 R-APDs are designed to deliver the best possible sensitivity for high-bandwidth optical applications in the near infrared (NIR) and short wavelength infrared (SWIR). With low avalanche noise and high quantum efficiency over the 950–1700 nm spectral band, including the eye-safe wavelengths greater than 1400 nm, Voxtel's InGaAs R-APDs provide enhanced responsivity relative to p-i-n photodiodes and lower noise relative to conventional APDs.
