The TSL1401CS linear photodiode sensor array consists of a 128x1 array of photodiodes, associated charge amplifier circuitry, and a pixel data-hold function that provides simultaneous-integration start and stop times for all pixels. (read more)

The TSL3301 is a high-sensitivity linear photodiode array with a pixel density of 300 dpi (pixels-per-inch). The device has a built-in 8-bit ADC with a 3-wire serial interface. The array consists of 102 pixels, each measuring 85um high by 77um wide and spaced on 85um centers. (read more)

The Photopic Filtrode Photodiode chip was designed to mimic the response of the human eye. The part is a standard Blue- Enhanced photodiode that has a filter applied to it using an API patented process. As this process is done at the wafer level, almost any size or shape of photodiode can be filtered in this fashion. (read more)

Hamamatsu Corporation has introduced the G8931-20, an InGaAs avalanche photodiode with a large, 0.2 mm diameter active area and high-speed response of 0.9 GHz. The device is suitable for applications such as distance measurement, spatial light transmission, low-light-level detection, and optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR). (read more)

Melles Griot offers a wide selection of mounted silicon and PIN photodiodes, along with amplifiers, integrating spheres, and accessories, which can be assembled to meet specific laboratory requirements. (read more)

The PDA Series Photodetectors are amplified photodiodes in a compact package. The new PDA Series housing utilizes a thin profile to allow access to light paths with the minimum amount of interference and include a low noise transimpedance or voltage amplifier. All connections and controls are located perpendicular to the light path, providing increased accessibility. (read more)

Photodiodes are semiconductors that generate a current or voltage when illuminated by light. They have no internal gain, but can operate at much higher light levels than other detectors. Hamamatsu Si photodiodes have low capacitance and dark current, which reduces noise and increases speed. (read more)

The new S9345 Si PIN dual-element photodiode has been developed to optimize reflection-mode optical switches. Using the triangulation method the S9345 can be used for near-far detection. (read more)

The PerkinElmer L-series of monolithic self-scanning linear photodiode arrays offers a high-quality, low-cost solution for spectroscopy and colorimetry applications in the 300-1000nm range. The combination of high sensitivity, low dark current, low switching noise, and high saturation charge of the L-series provides excellent dynamic range and great flexibility in setting integration time.
