Ultrafast InGaAs photodetector has high gain, low noise factor
Amplification Technologies has begun shipment of its TEC-cooled InGaAs solid-state photomultipliers. These detectors feature gain better than 100,000, noise factor less than 1.1, response time better than 500 ps, with photon counting capability at room temperature. Unlike conventional GM-APDs, these detectors do not need an external quenching circuit and operate in a nongated continuous mode. The technology realizes the future creation of linear and 2-D arrays that combine: *high gain, *low-noise factor and *high-speed operation using conventional semiconductor fabrication techniques. Single-channel devices (200 µm, 7 µm active area) in TO5 or TE-cooled TO8 packages and modules, are available.

PRESS RELEASE
Product : High gain, low noise factor, ultrafast InGaAs photodetector
Description : Amplification Technologies has commenced shipment of their TEC cooled InGaAs solid state photomultipliers. These detectors feature gain >100,000, noise factor <1.1, response time <500 ps, with photon counting capability at room temperature. Unlike conventional GM-APDs, these detectors do not need an external quenching circuit and operate in a non-gated continuous mode. The technology realizes the future creation of linear and 2D arrays that combine: *high gain, *low-noise factor and *high-speed operation using conventional semiconductor fabrication techniques. Single channel devices (200 micron, 7 micron active area) in TO5 or TEC-cooled TO8 packages and modules, are available.
