Photon drag detector

Photon drag detector
B749
High-speed detector with high sensitivity in
the 10 μm band (for CO2 laser detection)
The B749 is a photon drag detector that utilizes the photon drag effect in which carriers created by input photons are
dragged in the direction of photons, generating an electromotive force. The B749 ensures high-speed operation even at
room temperatures and has high sensitivity in the 10 μm band, making it well suited to detection of CO2 lasers.

Precautions
The Ge element mounted in the detector package is susceptible to shocks and drop impacts. Handle the detector with extreme care.
Do not allow light higher than 10 MW/cm2 to strike the detector element, because the element surface might be damaged.
