Silicon Avalanche Photodiode SAE-Series (Red-Enhanced)

Description The SAE230VS and SAE500VS epitaxial avalanche photodiodes are general purpose APD with high responsivity and extremely fast rise and fall times through out the 400 to 1000 nm wavelength range. The peak responsivity at 650 nm is ideally suited to rangefinding applications using visible laser diodes. A variety of package options are available.

Features ▪▪ ▪▪ ▪▪ ▪▪ ▪▪ ▪▪
