Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced the G10899 series of InGaAs PIN photodiodes, featuring a very wide spectral response range of 0.5 to 1.7 µm. Standard InGaAs PIN photodiodes only offer a useful response range from 0.9 to 1.7 µm, with silicon photodiodes being used to cover from 400 nm to 1.1 µm. The new G10899 can provide the end user with the ability to implement only one detector, where in the past they might need two.
