Germanium Avalanche Photodiodes

PD-LD offers Germanium Avalanche
Photodiodes that are optimized for
operation 950nm and 1600nm .Our
standard 100um diameter active area
devices are available in TO-18 cans that
are hermetically sealed and in a variety of
fiber coupled packages. These devices
are
designed
for
operation
with
breakdown voltages between 10 and 35 V .
Pigtailing
Devices may be pigtailed with any size
optical fiber that is compatible with its
active area size. For our 100um diameter
devices pigtails may range in core size
from 3um to 100micron. One meter is the
standard length, but any length or
connector termination may be specified.
Pigtails may be terminated with ST, FC,
SC and LC connectors with either PC or
APC polish.
Receptacles
Standard ST, FC and SC housings are
