Custom silicon photodiode combinations

Custom silicon photodiode combinations are robust, sensitive optical detectors for light in the range ~230nm to 1100nm. They can also detect other forms of radiation including x-rays, gamma rays, ion (including alpha particles) and neutrons, either directly or with the addition of a conversion material.

When an application or instrument requires ultimate performance to be acheived by optimising a particular parameter, our standard devices and combinations serve as a platform on which customisations can be developed with maximum flexibiilty and minimum risk.

While every project and customer is different, typical examples include:
> Military designators, countermeasures and fuses
• high sensitivity, high speed infrared detectors packaged and qualified for harsh environments
> Laser diffraction arrays
• high density photodiode arrays processed to minimise reflection, scatter and peripheral collection
> Medical x-ray dosimetry
• a photodiode intimately bonded to a scintillator and packaged to prevent light ingress
