Large Area Avalanche Photodiode (LAAPD)

Featuring the industry's largest active area Avalanche Photodiodes (APD) with diameters of up to 16mm, these patented devices can operate up to 2000V and achieve gains of up to 300. They have extremely low noise, high stable gain, and 120% quantum efficiency, which enables these LAAPDs to sense light as low as 120nm. You can obtain these devices in an SHV package, either non-cooled or windowless.
