PIN Diodes
-
PIN photodiodes convert light to current – without a bias voltage having to be applied. Silicon is commonly used as an inexpensive detector material in the Vis range. For higher demands, InGaAs is used; it covers the widest spectral range from the Vis to the NIR. We offer silicon carbide as a “solar-blind” detector specifically for the UV range.

Divergent Light Measurement
-
The IS1.5-VIS-FPD-800 & IS1.5-IRG-FPD-800 contain 2 photodiodes: a calibrated photodiode for precise power measurement using Ophir meters and a fast photodiode with integral reverse bias circuit for temporal characterization using third-party instrumentation such as oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. Their small, 1.5" internal diameter preserves the temporal shape of pulses down to 3.5 nsec for VIS and 6 nsec for IRG. An SMA fiber optic connector is provided for connection to a spectrometer. The large, 20 mm input aperture allows for wide acceptance angles and long working distances, making these spheres well suited for testing VCSELs and other types of laser.

UV Index Measurement
-
The sglux UV-Index sensors measure the UVI with a worldwide unique low measurement uncertainty of less than 5 %. This makes our sensors compliant to the highest measurement precisions class one according the DIN/EN 5031-11, chapter 8. Since 2018 our product UV-Cosine_UVI (ERYCA) is appointed for public authority tasks: The German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) services 27 measurement points in Germany for public information of the daily UV-Index. Twenty of these points (Andernach, Chieming, Duderstadt, Fichtelberg, Genthin, Giessen-Wettenberg, Schauenburg-Kassel, Langen, Lueneburg, Munchen-Neuherberg, Norderney, Belm/Osnabrueck, Schauinsland, Tholey, Todendorf, Waldhof-Falkenstein, Waldmuenchen, Wurmberg, Zingst and Zirchow) use the sglux ERYCA to obtain the local UV-Index value. In 2017 ARPANSA (Australian Government’s primary authority on radiation protection and nuclear safety) began replacing the existing biometers with SiC photodiode UV sensors (sglux ERYCA) at all network sites. There are currently thirteen measurement sites in Australia that have been upgraded to the new sensors.

Low Input Bias Current Amplifiers (<100 pA)
-
Low input bias current op amps are required whenever the difference of currents or voltage is small and needs to be measured accurately. These op amps are used so that the signal is not loaded down by the input of the op amps. Low input bias current op amps are critical for interfacing sensors in applications from photodiodes, pH meters, or other electrometer related functions to downstream electronics. Analog Devices has many precision op amps that fit the definition and range of these applications.

Avalanche Photodiodes
-
These avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are silicon photodiodes with an internal gain mechanism. As with a conventional photodiode, absorption of incident photons creates electron-hole pairs. A high reverse bias voltage creates a strong internal electric field, which accelerates the electrons through the silicon crystal lattice and produces secondary electrons by impact ionization. The resulting electron avalanche can produce gain factors up to several hundred.
