Boost for for low-level light detection
The low cost C30737E epitaxial avalanche photodiode and C30659 series APD pre-amplifier modules represents a major step forward for low-level light-detection applications.
Now available through Pacer and manufactured by PerkinElmer, the low cost C30737E epitaxial (EPI) avalanche photodiode (APD) and C30659 series APD pre-amplifier modules represents a major step forward for low-level light-detection applications such as LIDAR, laser range finding and confocal microscopy Offered in hermetic TO-can and sealed plastic packages, the 230 and 500um diameter C30737 EPI APD offers the benefits of gains in excess of 100 but at 150V, much lower operating voltages are achieved compared with traditional reach-through devices

High-speed fibre-optic laser and receiver
The lasers and detectors division of Pacer Components has announced a new pair of 2.5Gbit fibre-optic components.
The speed is also increased to 1.2GHz (300ps rise time) on the 230um diameter device.
Surface mount devices are available to request.
Where low noise, high bandwidth transimpedance gain is important, PerkinElmer has introduced the GaAs FET front-end amplified C30659 series.
This encompasses many silicon and InGaAs APDs to offer spectral response between 400-110 or 900-1700nm, and active area's between 200um and 3mm, and bandwidths of either DC-50MHz or DC-200MHz are offered.
Transimpedance gain of 82k with internal APD gain offers up to 3000kV/W, but noise remains very low at 15nV/(rt)Hz or an NEP of 35fW/(rt)Hz.
The range has wide optical field of view and comes in a 12-lead TO-8 package. Request a free brochure from Pacer International ...
