Photodiodes

Photodiodes (PDs) are semiconductor devices that convert light transmitted through an optical fiber into an electrical signal. This process occurs when photons interact with the p-n junction of a semiconductor, generating a photocurrent. We offer a variety of photodiodes coupled with optical fibers (also known as pigtailed photodiodes) in several types and configurations to meet the standards of telecommunications, sensorics, microwave photonics and other high-sensitivity applications.

Our range includes:

Our photodetectors, including silicon (Si) photodiodes and indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) photodiodes, feature high quantum efficiency, fast response times, and a broad spectral response, ranging from visible (VIS) to near-infrared (NIR) / telecom wavelengths. Please, also read about various fiber-coupling technologies that we use.

If you cannot find fiber-coupled photodiodes that meet your specific requirements, please contact us to explore customized solutions. Our products are designed for high sensitivity, low noise, and reliable performance across a range of optical powers and light levels.
