Product Details
G12181-003A Infrared Photoelectric Sensor (InGaAs PIN photodiode)
For Optical Communication Systems
Application Areas:
- Optical Communication Systems: Detects high-speed NIR signals
(1.3/1.55 μm bands) in fiber optic transceivers, supporting
reliable data transmission in telecom networks.
- Precision Optical Power Meters: Serves as a core sensing component
for measuring NIR optical power in laboratory testing, fiber optic
maintenance, and laser calibration.
- Laser Monitoring & Testing: Enables real-time monitoring of laser
output intensity (e.g., in industrial lasers, medical lasers) and
life-cycle testing of laser diodes.
- Near-Infrared Photometry: Used in biochemical analysis, material
science, and environmental monitoring to measure NIR light
absorption, transmission, or reflection.
- Aerospace & Defense: Suitable for NIR-based target detection,
remote sensing, and optical guidance systems (thanks to wide
temperature range and low noise).
Key Features:
- Broad NIR Coverage: 0.9–1.7 μm spectral range aligns with key
wavelengths for communication, laser, and photometry applications.
- Ultra-Low Dark Current: Max. 0.3 nA dark current minimizes
background noise, ensuring high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for
low-light detection.
- High-Speed Response: 800 MHz cut-off frequency supports fast signal
detection, ideal for high-bandwidth optical communication or pulsed
laser monitoring.
- Compact & Durable Package: TO-18 metal package offers mechanical
stability, easy integration into circuits, and compatibility with
standard optical mounts.
- Consistent Sensitivity: Low temperature coefficient of sensitivity
ensures reliable performance across varying ambient temperatures.
