Marktech Introduces Broadband Hybrid Silicon-InGaAs Photodetectors

Wide dynamic range includes 365nm blue-green enhanced silicon-based and 1300nm InGaAs-based detection

Marktech Optoelectronics, a privately-held, VOSB-certified, designer and manufacturer of standard and custom optoelectronics components and assemblies, including ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), and short-wave infrared (SWIR) emitters, detectors, InP epiwafers and other materials, has announced the introduction of its Models MT03-041 (TO-5) and MT03-047 (SMD), two new broadband hybrid silicon-InGaAs photodetectors.

The design of the Models MT03-041 and MT03-047 is said to ensure versatile, accurate, reliable broadband detection over spectral ranges from UV-to-VIS-to-SWIR, with 250 nm (UV) to 1750 nm (SWIR) enhanced sensitivity. This wide dynamic range includes 365 nm blue-green enhanced silicon-based and 1300 nm InGaAs-based detection, respectively; ultra-low-noise measurement performance; and high shunt resistance. The detectors are seamlessly integrated within a single, compact thru-hole or SMD package. They are also both REACH and RoHS compliant.

Small-to-medium-sized quantities of standard Models MT03-041 (TO-5) and MT03-047 (SMD) are typically available with 24-hour shipment from stock via Marktech global distribution partner, Digi-Key Electronics.

Optional accessories for Models MT03-041 (TO-5) and MT03-047 (SMD), also available from Marktech, include UV-to-IR-to-SWIR range emitters. Each emitter may be mechanically and spectrally matched, then combined with the photodetector as a single, compact package. Custom designs may be produced in as few as 6-8 weeks from customer prototype approvals.
