Photosensor Type




         
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Photomultiplier Tube
 
     A tube consisting of an evacuated envelope with a photocathode that emits electrons when exposed to light. These electrons are accelerated by a positive electrostatic field and fall upon a metal surface where they emit secondary electrons that are again accelerated to generate more electrons at the next metal surface, and so on. The whole arrangement thus acts as a combination of a simple photocell with a high-gain amplifier in a self-contained unit.
 
   Avalanche Photodiode
 
     A device that utilizes avalanche multiplication of photocurrent by means of hole-electrons created by absorbed photons. When the device's reverse-bias voltage nears breakdown level, the hole-electron pairs collide with ions to create additional hole-electron pairs, thus achieving a signal gain.
 
   PN Photodiode
 
      
 
   PIN Photodiode
 
     A diode with a large intrinsic region sandwiched between P-doped and N-doped semiconducting regions. Photons absorbed in this region create electron-hole pairs that are then separated by an electric field, thus generating an electric current in a load circuit.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Output Type:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Voltage Output
 
     The photosensor output is a voltage.
 
   Current Output
 
     The photosensor output is a current.
 
   Photon Counting
 
     The photosensor is photon counting.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Number of Channels:
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Photosensor Performance




   Effective Area Diameter or Length:
 
     The diameter of the active area of the photosensor if circular or the length if square or rectangular.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Effective Area Width:
 
     The width of the active area of the photosensor if square or rectangular.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Spectral Response:
 
     The spectral response range of incident light the photosensor detects, also called wavelength range.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Supply Voltage:
 
     The supply voltage of the photosensor.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
PMT Photosensor Sensitivity




   Voltage Output Sensitivity:
 
     This measure of sensitivity applies only to photosensors with voltage output.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Current Output Sensitivity:
 
     This measure of sensitivity applies only to photosensors with current output. 
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Counting Sensitivity:
 
     This measure of sensitivity applies only to photosensors for photon counting.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Photosensor Noise




   Noise Equivalent Power (NEP):
 
     The power of incident light, at a specific wavelength, required to produce a signal on the detector that is equal to the noise.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Photosensor Features




   Cooled?
 
     Some photosensors are cooled for better sensitivity.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
