Silicon and InGaAs photodetectors for electro-optical sensors applications introduced by Advanced Photonix

Dec. 2, 2022
Advanced Photonix's silicon and InGaAs SMT detectors come in wavelengths from ultraviolet (UV) to near infrared (300 nanometers to 1700 nanometers).

CAMARILLO, Calif. – Advanced Photonix Inc. in Camarillo, Calif., is introducing silicon (Si) and indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) surface-mount technology (SMT) photodetectors for security, medical, and communications imaging, industrial controls, opto switches, opto counters, industrial sensing, light management, and handheld devices.

The family of electro-optical surface-mount devices (SMDs) are assembled in compact, water-clear P-I-N, APD, PSD, and 1206 packaging and are available in cut tape, tape box, tape & reel or custom reel quantities.

The optical sensors and photodiodes are specially designed for automated SMT/SMD assembly and solder reflow mounts on printed circuit boards and ceramic substrates.
