Germanium Photodiodes/Avalanche Photodiodes

Source: PD-LD, Inc.

PD-LD offers germanium photodiodes and germanium avalanche photodiodes that operate in 850 to 1600 nm and 800 to 2100 nm responsivity ranges. They’ve been designed for operation with low reverse bias and in high-bandwidth applications.

The 1mm (850-1600nm) and 500 micron (850-1600) germanium photodiodes are available in hermetically sealed TO cans and in a wide variety of fiber coupled packages. They’ve been optimized from NIR through IR regions.

The germanium avalanche photodiodes are suitable for 800-2100nm wavelengths and are available in fiber pigtailed co-axial packages and in connector-style receptacle packages.
