204-74-74-561
Quadrant LAAPD Array
The 204-74-74-561 is a highly sensitive 4-element array photodetector, built on the
basis of the API proprietary Large Area Avalanche Photodiode technology. Advanced
micromachining techniques have been implemented for the element pixelization, thus
producing highly stable and uniform devices. The array is housed in a rugged,
hermetically sealed metal package designed to perform in industrial applications as well
as laboratory and clinical environments.
The device offers a unique combination of a large area, high gain photodetector
and extremely low noise pixel performance. This combination makes it a perfect choice
for all applications requiring highly sensitive low-level signal detection with emphasis
on spatially sensitive instrumentation.
The device is ideally suited for high precision applications, including analytical
chemistry, fluorescence spectrophotometry and lifetime measurements, medical
diagnostic, scintillation detection, radiation monitoring, color image scanning, low-level
light pulse counting, laser ranging, position sensing, and many others. The integrated
structure of the array offers performance unmatched by any existing discrete detectors
and in certain applications can successfully compete with position sensitive
photomultipliers.
In addition to standard characteristic, the devices can be custom tailored to match
desired spectral or mechanical requirements.
