These InGaAs avalanche photodiodes detect in the spectral range from 1100 nm to 1700 nm. IAG series APDs exhibit particularly high damage threshold values. Both come packaged in a TO-46 housing.
The InGaAs APD series
InGaAs-APDs are suitable for the spectral range from 1100 nm to 1700 nm. Compared to germanium APDs, they feature a significantly improved noise ratio, a higher bandwidth in relation to the active area, and advantages resulting from the increased sensitivity of up to 1700 nm. All APDs in a TO-46 housing are available fiber coupled on an optional basis.
IAG Series
The IAG series exhibits a high damage threshold of >200 kW/cm². The responsivity of the detector peaks at 1550 nm and the active area is available in diameters of 80 µm, 200 µm, and 350 µm.
