Photodetector Amplifier minimizes electrical noise levels.
Press Release Summary:
Packaged in TO-5 can, ODA-5W-100M is suited for low-light-level tasks where electrical noise levels can affect photodiode signal if detector and amplifier are separate components on PCB. Photodetector amplifier combination offers 100 Mohm gain and 0.100 in. dia active area. Detector visible wavelength responsivity is 40 V/µW at 660 nm while frequency response is 1 KHz with dark offset at ±1 mV and dark offset noise at 5 mV rms.

Opto Diode's New Photodetector Amplifier Combination
Newbury Park, CA - October 9, 2006 - Opto Diode Corporation, a U.S. manufacturer of advanced performance photodetectors and visible and infrared LEDs, announces the new ODA-5W-100M Photodetector Amplifier Combination with 100Mohm gain. Packaged in a standard TO-5 can, the detector's visible wavelength responsivity at 660 nm is 40V/µW. The new combination detector-preamp's frequency response is 1 KHz with extremely low dark offset at +/-1mV with dark offset noise at 5mV RMS. Operating specifications are at +/- 15 V, 25 degrees C.
The ODA-5W-100M detector active area is 0 .100 inch diameter. The TO-5 package makes the device easy to integrate and suitable for a variety of applications such as fluorescence and spectroscopy. It is also ideal for any low-light-level tasks where electrical noise levels can affect the photodiode signal if the detector and amplifier are separate components on a PCB. Standard pricing is $25 each in quantities of 1000 pieces. Different gains are also available, depending on customer requirements.
Opto Diode's new photodetector amplifier combination is produced in their on-shore, Southern California wafer fabrication facility. The company is also a premier supplier of standard TO-packaging and custom infrared (IR) and visible LEDs.
