Because of their precise chip placement, a family of InGaAs PIN photodiodes in miniature ceramic packages can handle laser diode monitoring assignments in optical communication systems. The G8941 ...

This article delves into the technical details of a PIN avalanche photodiode (APD) and a PIN photodiode to properly understand where they fit into their optical designs.

Photodiode Many diodes designed for use specifically as a photodiode will also use a PIN junction rather than the typical PN junction. Some photodiodes are similar to a light emitting diode. They have ...

PIN photodiodes differ from ordinary PN diodes in that there’s a layer of undoped ‘intrinsic’ silicon separating the P and N doped layers.

The new PIN photodiode features a spectral response range of 0.9 to 1.7 µm with peak sensitivity at 1.55 µm and delivers high sensitivity with low noise characteristics. With a high-speed response of ...

RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, the photodiode provides a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 3 in accordance with J-STD-020 for a floor life of 168 hours.

--Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today released a new silicon PIN photodiode that brings a higher level of sensitivity in the visible/ near infrared wavelength to biomedical applications such as ...

The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology has introduced an Automotive Grade 4-quadrant silicon PIN photodiode in a standard surface-mount package.
