MACOM has announced the production readyMAOP-L284CN, MACOM’s 100G CWDM4 transmitter L-PIC(Lasers integrated with aSilicon PhotonicIntegrated Circuit) and supporting driver and controller IC chipset.

Marktech Optoelectronics has teamed up with Digi-Key Electronics to offer custom-made photodetectors specifically designed and optimised to meet customer specifications. The custom detectors can be made from Marktech silicon photovoltaic or photoconductive photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes, phototransistors, or InGaAs PIN photodiodes.

Suiting a wide range of applications including laser projection, biomedical applications and metrology, Continuous Wave (CW) laser diodes have demonstrated themselves as being extremely versatile.

The optical technologies trade fair, SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco, sensor specialist First Sensor and Velodyne LiDAR announced an expansion of their cooperation for Avalanche photodiodes (APD), which has been in place since 2005.The strategic supply cooperation has a volume in the millions over the next three years. Velodyne LiDAR uses Avalanche photodiodes (APD) from First Sensor in its entire product range of LiDAR scanners.

Nearly one year ago today, the LIGO Collaboration announced the detection of gravitational waves, once again confirming Einstein's theory of General Relativity. This important discovery by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (aLIGO) has spurred great interest in improving these advanced optical detectors. The mission of gravitational wave scientists worldwide is to make gravitational wave detection a routine occurrenc...

A light-sensing device that integrates photodiodes below the Buried Oxide (BOX) of FDSOI transistors has been developed by Leti, making the transistors sensitive to visible light.In this work, photodiodes were co-integrated in the SOI substrate, replacing conventional FDSOI transistor backgate.

The IR Topled D5140 photodiode from Osram Opto Semiconductors requires considerably less PC board space than before, allowing for more compact sensors to be embedded in a design. The spectral sensitivity of the D5140 has been optimised for visible light and allows precise heart rate measurements using red or green light.

A 500dpi flexible fingerprint sensor in a smart card form factor designed by FlexEnable is going to be showcased at TRUSTECH 2016 in Cannes, 29thNovember-1stDecember 2016. With biometric authentication becoming increasingly important for the smartcard industry, flexible fingerprint sensors open up new opportunities.

With its 1.2x1.3mm outline and typical current of 900nA, the TSU111 nano-power op amp from STMicroelectronics helps cut the size and energy needs of analogue circuits to the bare minimum in medical monitors, wearable electronics, gas detectors, pH sensors, infrared motion sensors and payment tags.

An alternative to blue enhanced Si PIN diodes is offerred from SiC, since they are naturally ‘blind’ in the deep UV and visible, offering a good response between 200nm and 400nm.SiC is also more resistant to damage when exposed to harsh UV radiation compared to Si photodiodes.
