Standard-Area Silicon Avalanche Photodiodes (230, 500 µm)
PD-LD Inc. offers 2 sizes of
standard Silicon Avalanche
Photodiodes in several styles
of fiber coupled packages. The
semiconductors are available
in two standard sizes: 230 mi-
cron or 500 micron active ar-
eas. Our Silicon APDs cover
the optical spectrum from 550
nm to 1050 nm and are opti-
mized for peak performance in
the 880nm to 905nm region.
These devices are available in
fiber pigtailed co-axial pack-
ages or in connector style re-
ceptacle packages.
Manufacturing
Efficient package designs and manufacturing
processes allow PD-LD to rapidly support both
small and large volume requirements. Complete
100% testing of all critical parametric device val-
ues ensure optimal performance and quality. Not
all receptacle packaging styles are represented
on this data sheet, so please contact PD-LD for
specific needs.

Packaging Options
Pigtailing
Devices can be pigtailed with any size optical fi-
ber that is compatible with its active area size.
Pigtails may range in core size from 3 micron to
200 micron. One meter is the standard length, but
any length or connector termination may be
specified. Pigtails may be terminated with ST, FC,
SC and LC connectors with either PC or APC pol-
ish.
Receptacles
Standard ST, FC and SC housings are available
in both panel and board mountable versions.
These receptacles can be optimized for use with
both single mode and multimode optical fibers.
