Hamamatsu’s new MPPC (SiPM) for LiDAR applications

Among the newest additions, the S16786-0515WM stands out as a testament to the company's continuous innovation in light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology.

The newly launched S16786-0515WM is a near-infrared, high-sensitivity SiPM designed to meet the demanding requirements of advanced LiDAR applications. This cutting-edge sensor marks a significant advancement over its predecessors, featuring a reduced SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) size. This refinement enables an increase in Photon Detection Efficiency, achieving a remarkable 15% at 905 nm, thanks to the integration of Microlens technology. Furthermore, the sensor maintains a broad dynamic range while ensuring minimal crosstalk probability, due to Hamamatsu's proprietary technology trench.

Hamamatsu Photonics is proud to offer a comprehensive portfolio of SiPM (MPPC) solutions. This portfolio expansion underscores the company's commitment to advancing photonics technologies and strengthening its position as a leader in high-precision, reliable optical sensors.
