Avalanche Photodiodes (APD)
Frequently Asked Questions
An Avalanche Photodiode (APD) is a highly sensitive semiconductor device that operates in the reverse-biased mode to achieve internal multiplication of carriers.
APDs offer higher sensitivity, lower noise, and faster response compared to standard photodiodes. They are commonly used in low-light and high-speed applications.
APDs are available for various wavelength ranges, including UV, visible, and near-infrared (NIR). Make sure to select an APD that matches your desired wavelength.
Consider factors such as wavelength range, responsivity, dark current, gain, and operating voltage to select the appropriate APD for your specific application.
Yes, many suppliers offer custom configurations and arrays of APDs to meet specific requirements. Contact the suppliers directly to discuss your custom needs.
