Photodiodes
High-Performance Photodiodes
Detection Technology offers the standard series of high-quality photodiodes for various measurement purposes. Detection Technology's ultra-clean processing method provides excellent performance characteristics and high reliability. The use of unique guard-ring concept offers impressive performance improvements.
PDC Series
PDC series photodiodes are extra high-resistivity PIN photodiodes with an excellent spectral response at 550 nm. This is achieved by using ultra pure starting material, special high-purity manufacturing process, and optimized optical filtering. PDC-series photodiodes also incorporate a unique guard-ring structure, which greatly reduces leakage current in biased operation.
Benefits
• Fast response time
• High sensitivity
• Extremely low noise due to ultra-low capacitance and low leakage current
Applications
• Scintillator applications (e.g. CsI(Tl), CdWO4, GOS, plastic scintillators)
• High-speed pulse counting
High-Performance Diodes for Ionizing Radiation
Detection Technology offers the standard series of high-performance diodes optimized for X-rays and alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Detection Technology's ultra-clean processing method provides excellent performance characteristics and high reliablity. The use of unique guard-ring concept offers impressive performance improvements.
XRB Series
XRB series high-resistivity diodes are optimized for ionizing radiation detection. Excellent performance is based on the use of a high-resistivity silicon starting material and a high-purity manufacturing process. High radiation tolerance and depressed light sensitivity are achieved by the use of a specially developed radiation entrance window processing.
Benefits
• Excellent charge collection efficiency due to high-purity processing
• Stable operation in harsh radiation environment
• Depressed light sensitivity
Applications
• X-ray dose and quality measurements
• Beta measurements
• High energy physics and synchrotron research
