H2 / H3 / H4 / H5 Series
Silicon and InGaAs-APD Receiver
Description
The H2/H3/H4/H5-Series includes a Silicon or InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode with
an optimized low noise hybrid preamplifier for the use in high speed, low light detec-
tion, in laser range finding, LIDAR, medical and analytical applications. Housed in a
5 pin TO-46 or 6 pin TO-5 package they offer bandwidths up to 700 MHz and a
differential ended output.
The Si-APDs used in these devices are SAR500, SAR1500 and for YAG enhanced
application SAT800, providing very good response between 400 nm and 1100 nm
and very fast rise and fall times at all wavelengths. For the wavelength range between
900 nm and 1700 nm our InGaAs-APD IAG-series is used. All APD Receivers are
available with various gain/bandwidth configurations.
Custom versions with all other APD chips from our product range are available on
request.
For field use we recommend to use our ABC550-04. This temperature-compensated
HV supply allows constant responsivity to be maintained despite changes in tempera-
ture.
