SMPX140 Series of Hybrid Detectors
The SMPX140 series is a range of hybrid opto-electronic components incorporating a 15mm
2
PIN photodiode, operational
amplifier and transimpedance circuitry. The photodiode is operated at zero bias for best linearity and lowest dark current.
Features
Incorporation of the photodiode and amplifier into a welded metal can (with or without the optional electrostatic screening
mesh) minimises noise pickup, leakage current errors and stray capacitance normally associated with discrete designs.
Various optical filters can be incorporated inside the package to pass selected regions of the ultra-violet to infra-red
spectrum. The optical filters can be ionically coloured glass or vapour-deposited dielectric layers on a glass substrate. For
more details of the filter permutations, contact Semelab Plc.
