We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Photodetector",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Photodetector chip keeps transmission costs down from
JDSU, which we summarised at the time by saying "In order to make APD chips affordable for the GPON market, JDSU usedits manufacturing expertise to create a new low-cost chip".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Digital optocouplers have industrial specs from
Avago Technologies: "Wide temperature optocouplers are extremely reliable and ideal for use in applications that operate in harsh industrial environments".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Opto Diode
concerning its 5mm2 ODA-5W-100K
- take a look at Detector works at lower light levels
which says: "Combination detector is ideal for medical diagnostics, test and measurement, and other tasks that require low-light-level detection".
Take a look also at the news release from Atmel Corporation, Photodetector IC for use in DVD and CD drives,
as well as Novel colour imaging device needs no flash from Planet82,
and Photodetector and amplifier come together from Opto Diode.
