Since the foundation of Laser Components Detector Group Inc. in 2004 we have built a product range comprising high quality APDs as well as low cost versions. The active area ranges from diameters of 230 µm to 3.0 mm.
Depending on type and specifications APDs are used for rangefinding, speed measurements, laser radar, security scanners, spectroscopy, fluorescence measurement as well as test and measurements systems in industrial, military, and medical markets. The avalanche effect is most effective whenever there is not much light available.
The APDs are available in different TO-housings with certain options such as lens cap, integrated filter, with TEC, SMD housing, or just on ceramic submount. In addition to a wide range of standard products our strength clearly is in customer specific developments.
All APDs in a TO-46 housing are available fiber coupled on an optional basis.
We gladly assist you with choosing the optimal APD for your application.
The SAE series features an epitaxial structure and is available as red enhanced (i.e. optimized for visible wavelengths) or NIR enhanced (i.e. optimized for NIR wavelengths) version. These APDs are inexpensive and feature a very large gain and dynamic range.
