Optoelectronics C30737 Epitaxial Silicon Avalanche Photodiode Description Applications The C30737 type avalanche photodiode provides high responsivity between 500 nm and 1000 nm, as well as extremely fast rise times at all wavelengths with a frequency response up to 1.0 GHz. The active area diameters of the photosensitive surface are 0.23 mm and 0.5mm. Other photosensitive diameters are also available on a custom basis. • Range Finding • Optical communication systems The detector chip is hermetically sealed behind a flat glass window mounted in a TO-18 package. TO-18 plastic sealed packages and plastic surface mount packages are additional options. D A T A S H E E T PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET Features • Low cost • 0.23 mm and 0.5mm active diameter • High gain at low bias voltage • Low breakdown voltage • Fast response • Low noise PerkinElmer Optoelectronics is committed to supplying the highest quality products to our customers.
