InGaAs Geiger mode avalanche photodiodes
InGaAs avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are specialized devices for detecting and counting single photons in the short-wave infrared spectrum. This detector has been specifically optimized for single-photon detection performance at temperatures of 0°C and above, enabling it to meet the technical requirements for high-efficiency, low-dark-count single-photon detection in fields such as quantum-secure communication and low-light detection, while significantly reducing cooling requirements. It achieves single-photon detection for wavelengths ranging from 0.9 to 1.7 μm, meeting the needs for device miniaturization and operation under various environmental conditions.
Product Features
- High detection efficiency (＞20%@ with a post-pulse probability of less than 2%)
- Suitable for high-speed gated mode (≥100MHz) and free-running mode applications
- High temperature low dark count rate (optimal <2kHz@20% detection efficiency@0℃@100MHz)
- Back-illuminated, multiple packaging types and sizes, 3-pin TO46 non-cooled devices, and integrated TEC-cooled 6-pin TO8 and 10-pin mini butterfly devices, FC/PC single-mode pigtails.
