Detectors for range finding, LiDAR and optical communications
The SAE230VSx and SAE500VSx epitaxial avalanche photodiodes are general purpose detectors with high responsivity and extremely fast rise/fall times. The peak responsivity at 650nm is ideally suited to range finding applications using low cost visible diode lasers. LASER COMPONENTS supplies customers all over the world with these industrial grade detectors.
Silicon APDs for photon counting
Detecting the smallest amount of light is important in many medical diagnostic applications. Photomultipler tubes (PMTs) are widely used but are sensitive to magnetic fields and require a high operating voltage. Over the last six years avalanche photodiodes (APDs) have started to displace PMTs because they are cheaper, have longer lifetimes, use lower operating voltages and are insensitive to magnetic fields.
Low noise single photon counting modules
Capitalising on expertise in the manufacture of silicon avalanche photodiodes (APDs) since 2004, LASER COMPONENTS produced the COUNT series of single counting photon modules, with unrivalled quantum efficiency of more than 70% in the red region with dark counts of less than 10cps.
LIDAR offerings to accelerate autonomous driving
Analog Devices (ADI) has announced a collaboration with First Sensor AG to develop products aimed at speeding the launch of autonomous sensing technology serving unmanned automotive, aerial and underwater vehicles in transportation, smart agriculture, industrial manufacturing and other industries.
Medical-grade devices vs. consumer wearables
Smartphone ubiquity, sensor miniaturisation, and ease of integration have increased the number of wearable products on the market, to the point where such products are now achieving performance levels suitable for medical use-cases.But how will medical wearables make patients healthier - and why now?
Pulsed laser diodes and APD arrays from a single provider
LASER COMPONENTS is a reliable manufacturer of both ultrafast pulsed laser diodes and highly-sensitive avalanche photodiodes, thus covering both key technologies of high-performance LiDAR systems. Carmakers and other companies all over the world are currently working hard to bring the idea of self-driving cars to the 5th level.
Production facility for detectors in the USA
It has been announced that LASER COMPONENTS has begun laying the foundations for the future with the building of its new production facility for detectors. At the end of April, the ceremonial setting of the cornerstone for the new 26,000 ft² building took place in Chandler, Arizona.
Detectors offer higher level of photon conversion efficiency
LASER COMPONENTS has been manufacturing avalanche photodiodes since 2004 and these detectors are the heart of the photon counting instruments. The COUNT series is a portfolio of single photon counting modules with the performance optimised in the wavelength range 500-900nm. The COUNT series has an unrivalled quantum efficiency, over 70% in the red region of the spectrum with dark count rates at less than 10cps on some units, providing a level of ...
UVC LED Solutions prove their worth on European tour
UVC LEDs are beginning to become more and more accepted in the large-scale disinfection of water, air, and surfaces. Representatives at LG Innotek and Laser Components were able to prove this to numerous customers during a recent trip through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Ultra-fast digitiser aids cell sorting research
Cell sorting plays a fundamental role in molecular biology, pathology, immunology and virology research. It requires the ability to rapidly search through and sort out cells based on their unique chemical features and shapes. Conventional methods are limited in uncovering these differences, or are too labour or time intensive, or have to trade off between speed and accuracy.
