The Series 9 from First Sensor offers a wide range of silicon avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with very high sensitivity in the near infrared (NIR) wavelength range, especially at 905 nm. With their internal gain mechanism, large dynamic range and fast rise time the APDs are ideal for LIDAR systems for optical distance measurement and object recognition according to the time of flight method. Application examples include driver assistance systems, drones, safety laser scanners, 3D-mapping and robotics.
Using its own semiconductor manufacturing facility and extensive development capabilities, First Sensor can adapt its silicon avalanche photodiodes to specific customer requirements, such as sensitivity, gain, rise time or design.
Important features of the Series 9 APDs:
- Very high sensitivity at 905 nm
- Large dynamic range and fast rise time
- Single element photodiodes as well as linear and matrix arrays
- Rugged TO housings or flat ceramic SMD packages
- Hybrid solutions with integrated TIA
