OPTOCOUPLERS ( optoisolators) from American Miocrosemiconductor Inc.

Why use an optocoupler ? It is an easy and inexpensive way to isolate an input from output. Optocouplers supplied by American Microsemiconductor have 7500 volts isolation.

Which optocoupler to choose ? While the input is a single GaAs IR diode for most applications, two anti parallel d... (read more)

The PLANACON photon detector is a unique square shaped detector which can be tiled to provide a larger detection area. It is nearly immune to magnetic interference (~2 Tesla) and provides one of the largest single collection areas on the market.

PHOTONIS also manufactures traditionally round MCP-PMT photon detectors with similar magnetic resistance properties with jitter ~ 130pS F... (read more)

Improved spectral output and speed are features of Marktech's new 850nm Point Source LED product series. The point source series has become the product of choice in applications such as Encoders, Linear Positioning and Edge Sensing, Optical Switches and Machine Vision systems. (read more)

InGaAs PIN photo diodes are near infrared detectors that feature low noise, high sensitivity and high-speed response. Marktech introduces the newest series of these PIN diodes packaged in TO-46 metal cans with active areas of 0.1mm, 0.3mm and 1.0mm. Applications include Optical Communication Devices such as receivers, sensors and high speed fiber modules. (read more)

The new family of APD modules, from Excelitas Technologies, features built in amplifier and thermoelectric cooler. They are ideal for demanding LIDAR and range-finding applications. (read more)

Silicon (Si) photodiodes can be coupled with a low noise preamplifier chip in the same package. This configuration makes them highly resistant to external noise and suitable for compact circuit design. Additionally, devices can also be provided with a built-in thermoelectric cooler to reduce the dark current and enhance performance. (read more)

These devices consist of a number of photosensitive areas imaged on a single substrate forming a one-dimensional array with a common cathode substrate. They feature low crosstalk among adjacent elements and high uniformity in response. (read more)
