Expanding the portfolio of linear Si APD arrays

The LASER COMPONENTS Detector Group has expanded its standard range of linear Si APD arrays in LCC44 housings containing 8 and 16 elements. The SMD components can be mounted on circuit boards, while also providing enough space for the integrated multi-channel amplifier circuit. Their operation only requires the voltage for the array and 5V for the electronics. The arrays comprise of a monolithic series of fast, low-noise avalanche photodiodes with gaps of merely 40um between the elements.
