Calibrated Si detectors are semiconductor light sensors that generate a current or voltage when the P-N junc-tion in the semiconductor is illuminated by light. The term photodiode can be broadly defined to include even solar batteries, but it usually refers to sensors used to detect the intensity of light.
Si detectors provide the following features and are widely used for the detection of the presence, intensity and color of light.
◆ Excellent linearity with respect to incident light
◆ Low noise & Long life
◆ Wide spectral response range
◆ Mechanically rugged
◆ Compact and lightweight
Featuring high sensitivity and low dark current, these Si detectors are specifically designed for precision photometry and general photometry/visible range. Si detectors manufactured utilizing our unique semiconductor process technologies cover a broad spectral range from the near infrared to ultraviolet and even to high-energy regions. They also feature high-speed response, high sensitivity and low noise. Calibrated Si detectors be traceable.
