HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.
InGaAs
Photodiodes
Based on unique, in-house compound semiconductor process technology, Hamamatsu
has designed and developed advanced InGaAs photodiodes that feature high speed, high
sensitivity, and low noise over a spectral range from 0.5 μm to 2.6 μm. InGaAs photodiodes
are used in a wide variety of applications ranging from optical communications to chemical
analysis and measurement fields. Hamamatsu provides a wide range of products in different
packages including metal, ceramic and surface mount packages as well as linear and area
image sensors, and infrared detector modules with built-in preamplifiers.
We also manufacture custom products to meet your specific requirements.
Please feel free to contact us.
Topic
A Hamamatsu InGaAs linear image sensor was
installed in the asteroid explorer “HAYABUSA”.
The asteroid explorer “HAYABUSA,” an unmanned
spacecraft, returned to Earth after its long troublefilled journey carrying particles from the surface of
the asteroid “Itokawa” that was nearly 300 million
kilometers away from Earth at the time. The near
infrared spectrometer (NIRS) in the HAYABUSA
used a Hamamatsu InGaAs linear image sensor
which is highly rated for its outstanding reliability
and durability as well as high sensitivity in the near
infrared region. This near infrared spectrometer is
an instrument that analyzes the types of minerals
on the asteroid surface and asteroid contour by
detecting the light spectrum of infrared rays from
the sun reflecting from the asteroid surface.
M e a s u r i n g t h i s 0 . 8 t o 2 . 1 μ m l i g h t s p e c t ru m
reflected from the surface of “Itokawa” showed
that reflectance dropped in the vicinity of 1 μm and
2 μm, which revealed that minerals on the surface
contained olivine and pyroxene.

InGaAs image sensors
InGaAs linear image sensors
InGaAs linear image sensors are comprised of an InGaAs photodiode array with high sensitivity in the near infrared region,
charge amplifier arrays, an offset compensation circuit, a shift register, and a timing generator. The signal from each pixel is read
out in charge integration mode. The G11135/G11620 series use a back-illuminated structure to allow signal readout from a single
video line.

Two-color detectors
Two-color detectors use a combination of two light sensors with different spectral response, in which one sensor is mounted
over the other sensor along the same optical axis to provide a broad spectral response range. As the combination of two light
sensors, an infrared-transmitting Si photodiode and an InGaAs PIN photodiode (standard type or long wavelength type) or an infrared-transmitting InGaAs PIN photodiode (standard type) and an InGaAs PIN photodiode (long wavelength type) are available.
Thermoelectrically cooled two-color detectors are also provided that cool the sensors to maintain their temperatures constant,
allowing high precision measurement with an improved S/N.

Description of terms
Spectral response
Terminal capacitance: Ct
The relation (photoelectric sensitivity) between the incident
light level and resulting photocurrent differs depending on
the wavelength of the incident light. This relation between
the photoelectric sensitivity and wavelength is referred to
as the spectral response characteristic and is expressed in
terms of photosensitivity or quantum efficiency.
In a photodiode, the PN junction can be considered as a
type of capacitor. This capacitance is termed the junction
capacitance and is an important parameter in determining
the response speed. In current-to-voltage conversion circuits
using an op amp, the junction capacitance might cause
gain peaking. At HAMAMATSU, we specify the terminal
capacitance including this junction capacitance plus the
package stray capacitance.
Photosensitivity: S
The ratio of photocurrent expressed in amperes (A) or output
voltage expressed in volts (V) to the incident light level expressed
in watts (W). Photosensitivity is represented as an absolute
sensitivity (A/W or V/W) or as a relative sensitivity (%) to the
peak wavelength sensitivity normalized to 100. We usually define
the spectral response range as the range in which the relative
sensitivity is higher than 5% or 10% of the peak sensitivity.
Quantum efficiency: QE
This is the number of electrons or holes that can be extracted
as photocurrent divided by the number of incident photons.
It is commonly expressed in percent (%). The quantum
efficiency QE and photosensitivity S (unit: A/W) have the
following relationship at a given wavelength (unit: nm).
Rise time: tr
The rise time is the time required for the output to rise from
10% to 90% of the maximum output value (steady-state
value) in response to input of step-function light.
Cutoff frequency: fc
This is the measure used to evaluate the time response of
high-speed PIN photodiodes to a sinewave-modulated light
input. It is defined as the frequency at which the photodiode
output decreases by 3 dB from the output at 100 kHz. The
light source used is a laser diode (1.3 μm or 1,55 μm) and the
load resistance is 50 Ω. The rise time tr has a relation with
the cutoff frequency fc as follows:
tr [s]=
Short circuit current: Isc
This is the output current that flows in a photodiode when
load resistance is zero. This is called "white light sensitivity"
to differentiate it from the spectral response, and is
measured with light from a standard tungsten lamp at 2856
K distribution temperature (color temperature). Our product
catalog lists the short circuit current measured under an
illuminance of 100 lx.
0.35
fc [Hz]
Noise equivalent power: NEP
NEP is the incident light level equivalent to the noise level of
a device. In other words, it is the light level required to obtain
a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 1. We define the NEP value at
the peak sensitivity wavelength (λp). Since the noise level is
proportional to the square root of the frequency bandwidth,
the bandwidth is normalized to 1 Hz.
Peak sensitivity wavelength: λp
This is the wavelength at which the photosensitivity of the
detector is at maximum.
Cutoff wavelength: λ c
This represents the long wavelength limit of spectral
response and in datasheets is listed as the wavelength at
which the sensitivity becomes 10% of the value at the peak
sensitivity wavelength.
Dark current: ID
A small current which flows when a reverse voltage is applied
to a photodiode even in a dark state. This current is called
the dark current. Noise resulting from dark current becomes
dominant when a reverse voltage is applied to photodiodes (PIN
photodiodes, etc.).
Reverse voltage: VR max

deterioration of the device performance. Therefore the
absolute maximum rating is specified for reverse voltage at
the voltage somewhat lower than this breakdown voltage.
The reverse voltage shall not exceed the maximum rating,
even instantaneously.
