PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
C30737 Epitaxial Silicon Avalanche Photodiode
Description
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. 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. PerkinElmer Optoelectronics is committed to supplying the highest quality products to our customers. Certified to meet ISO 9001, the Epitaxial series is designed to satisfy MIL-STD-883 and/or MIL-STD-750.
