Linear Photodiode Array suits sensing applications.

Hybridized with 1 Megohm gain transimpedance amplifiers, 100 element photodiode array utilizes opaque polymer coating process to create mask that blocks any light outside pixels. Mounted on 1 PCB, each detector element is connectorized to TIA using AC coupling scheme to automatically filter out signals due to DC ambient light levels. Nominal specifications include pixel size of 0.045 x 0.050 mm...

Photodiode monitors output of semiconductor lasers.

Silicon PIN photodiode monitors short wavelength lasers, such as 980 nm diodes used for EDFA pumping. It is supplied as bare die soldered to ceramic block, facilitating integration of photodiode together with laser into standard telecommunications packages. Soldering avoids use of organic adhesives, which can outgas over time, eventually contaminating source. Active area is 0.7 x 1.0 mm.
