Description
The PerkinElmer family of large-area InGaAs
PIN photodiodes provide high responsivity
from 800 nm to 1700 nm for applications
including optical power meters, fiber optic test
equipment, near-IR spectoscopy and
instrumentation. All devices are planar
passivated and feature low capacitance for
extended bandwidth, and high shunt
resistance for maximum sensitivity. Typical
devices feature <1% non-linearity to optical
powers >+13 dBm (20 mW), and uniformity
within ±2% across the detector active area.
Typical responsivity of 0.2 A/W at 850 nm for
our large-area InGaAs devices allows use of
a single detector in fiber optic test
instrumentation designed to operate at 850,
1300, and 1550 nm.
Devices are available with active areas from
0.5 mm to 3.0 mm in TO-type packages or on
thermoelectric coolers for increased sensitivity
(see below). Photodiodes can also be
mounted on customized ceramic sub-mounts
to suit specific application requirements.
PerkinElmer Optoelectronics Canada is
qualified to ISO-9001 and operates to MIL-Q-
9858A and AQAP-1 quality standards. All
devices undergo extended life-test and
periodic process qualification programs to
assure high reliability. In addition, all
production devices are sourced from a
qualified wafer, screened with a 16 hour,
200°C burn-in at -10V bias (C30619 and
C30641) or -5V (C30642 and C30665), and
tested to meet responsivity, spectral noise,
capacitance, shunt resistance and dark
current specifications.

Package Options
TE-Cooled Devices: Large-area detectors are available
mounted on a 1-stage or 2-stage thermoelectric (TE) cooler.
Cooling increases shunt resistance (see Figure 2) thereby
reducing noise for increased sensitivity. Typical detector
temperature is -10°C with a 1-stage TE cooler or -35°C
using a 2-stage cooler. A TE-cooler option can be specified
by adding the extension -TC (1-stage cooler) or -DTC (2-
stage cooler) to the standard part number (see ordering
guide). More information is available from the "TC-Series
Cooled Photodiodes" datasheet from PerkinElmer
Optoelectronics Canada.
Detector and Pre-Amplifier: Large-area InGaAs detectors are
also available integrated with a preamplifier and TE-cooler. The
HTE-series features large-area InGaAs detectors with a high
gain hybrid transimpedence amplifier mounted on a 2-stage TE
cooler. TE-cooling maximizes sensitivity and stabilizes op-amp
offset and output characteristics. This provides an easy-to-use
high sensitivity detector platform optimized for good temperature
stability over a wide operating temperature range. More
information is available from the HTE-series datasheet. The
standard HTE-2642 incorporates a C30642E chip.
