SPMMicro Features & Benefits
- Form Factor – Smallest Form Factor packages metal sealed and or ceramic based.
- Spectral Range – Broad Spectral detection range 400nm to 1100nm.
- Detection Area – 1mm diameter, 9mm2 and 36mm2 detector area .
- Photon Detection Efficiency (PDE) – High PDE 5-20% depending on detector choice and overbias.
- Signal to Noise: Superior S/N to standard APDs
- Sensitivity – High Gain Responsivity device (10^6) which removes low noise high gain external amplification requirements.
- Photon Sensitivity – Single photon level sensitivity.
- Bandwidth – High Bandwidth Devices upto 20MHz.
- Timing – Fast Response sub 100ns pulse widths.
- Noise – Low Noise Detectors (Typical 1MHz/mm^2 at Room Temperature, <50kHz at -20ºC).
- Bias Operation – Low Voltage operation, <30V.
- Bias Control – Tight breakdown voltage (Vbr) distribution across batch +/-0.1V.
- Bias Operation: Extended overbias operation range (1-5V) which enables controlled PDE noise tradeoffs to be made for your application.
- Packaging – Choice of Hermetically Sealed TO-can Package or ceramic submount with epoxy encapsulation.
- Readout Electronics – Companion readout electronics – detectors can be integrated with sensl’s SPMA4 low noise transimpedance amplifier & integrated power supply.
- Form Factor – Small size, footprint with minimal working distance on all package designs top of package and detector surface.
