Avalanche photodiode (APD) module C30724PH

Product Overview
The C30724PH Silicon avalanche photodiode (Si APD) delivers peak sensitivity at 920 nm in a compact plastic TO-18 package. Optimized for 800–950 nm operation and particularly suited to high-volume 905 nm laser range-finding systems, the device provides fast 5 ns rise/fall times and can be operated at fixed bias without temperature compensation.
