Marktech Optoelectronics, has announced the global market introduction of its Models MT03-041 (TO-5) and MT03-047 (SMD), two new broadband hybrid Silicon-InGaAs photodetectors. The industry-exclusive design of the Models MT03-041 and MT03-047 ensures versatile, accurate, reliable broadband detection over spectral ranges from UV-to-VIS-to-SWIR, with 250 nm (UV) to 1,750nm (SWIR) enhanced sensitivity.

This wide dynamic range includes 365nm blue-green enhanced Silicon-based and 1,300nm InGaAs-based detection, respectively; ultra-low-noise measurement performance; and high shunt resistance. The detectors are seamlessly integrated within a single, compact thru-hole or SMD package. They are also both REACH and RoHS compliant.

Small-to-medium-sized quantities of standard Models MT03-041 (TO-5) and MT03-047 (SMD) are typically available with 24-hour shipment from stock via Marktech global distribution partner, Digi-Key Electronics. Optional accessories for Models MT03-041 (TO-5) and MT03-047 (SMD), also available from Marktech, include UV-to-IR-to-SWIR range emitters.

Each emitter may be mechanically and spectrally matched, then combined with the photodetector as a single, compact package. Custom designs may be produced in as few as six to eight weeks from customer prototype approvals.

Typical applications for Marktech broadband hybrid Silicon-InGaAs photodetectors include medical, industrial, high-speed communications, security and spectroscopy.
