Calibrated Ge detectors are semiconductor light sensors that generate a current or voltage when the P-N junc-tion in the semiconductor is illuminated by light.
◆ Excellent linearity with respect to incident light
◆ Low noise & Long life
◆ Wide spectral response range
◆ Mechanically rugged
◆ Compact and lightweight
Ge photodiodes are sensitive in the near infrared spectrum from 800 - 1800 nm. They are AR Coated for 1300 to 1550 nm and are packaged in a can and on a square ceramic substrate respectively. |
