Silicon photodiodes join the range
AP Technologies is extending its long and successful relationship with Opto Diode Corporation to include the company's range of silicon photodiodes.
AP Technologies is extending its long and successful relationship with Opto Diode Corporation to include the company's range of silicon photodiodes Martin Sharratt - Managing Director of APT has said "we have worked with ODC's world-leading LED technology for over 15 years and are very pleased to extend this relationship to cover their silicon detectors"

High-output blue LED has power to replace arrays
New from AP Technologies is the OD-470 high-output blue LED with a typical emission wavelength of 470nm and output power of 30mW DC.
Double-diode detector takes colour temperature
The SD138-11-31-211 silicon PIN photodiode sandwich detector from Advanced Photonix features two silicon PIN photodiodes vertically integrated in a hermetic TO-5 package.
Over the past three years ODC has invested significantly in a dedicated Class 1000 clean room with state-of-the-art photolithography and wafer-processing equipment at their Camarillo, California facility and their manufacturing facilities are now second-to-none in the silicon photodiode industry.
Sharratt commented: "ODC are one of the few companies who can use both diffusion and ion-implantation processes on the same wafer".
"This enables them to achieve unique combinations of performance characteristics which I am confident will be of great benefit to our many silicon photodiode customers in the UK and Ireland".
"A prime example is the excellent responsivity at the Nd:YAG wavelength of 1064nm - a figure of 0.4 A/W is twice the industry standard at this wavelength".
ODC offers standard detectors from 1 to 42mm2 with blue/visible and red/NIR spectral enhancements and can also supply bicell, quadrant and linear array configurations with custom photodiode configurations being produced within 4 to 6 weeks of order.
The company also supplies hybrid detector-preamplifier devices.
ODC's investment in automated wafer-testing, die attach, wirebonding and capping for its high volume LED business means it is able to supply high quality hermetic TO-style packaged photodiodes in high volumes with short leadtimes and excellent pricing.
