New Broadband Hybrid Silicon-InGaAs Photodetectors

Cost- and Space-Saving Design Eliminates the Need for Separate Detectors within the Same Application

October 29, 2019 – Latham, NY, USA –  Marktech Optoelectronics, Inc. (www.marktechopto.com)(Marktech), a privately-held, VOSB-certified, leading designer and manufacturer of standard and custom optoelectronics components and assemblies, including ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), and short-wave infrared (SWIR) emitters, detectors, InP epiwafers and other materials, today announced the global market introduction of its Models MT03-041 (TO-5) and MT03-047 (SMD), two new broadband hybrid Silicon-InGaAs photodetectors.

The
industry-exclusive design of the Models MT03-041 and MT03-047 ensures
versatile, accurate, reliable broadband detection over spectral ranges from UV-to-VIS-to-SWIR,
with 250 nm (UV) to 1750 nm (SWIR) enhanced sensitivity. This wide dynamic
range includes 365 nm blue-green enhanced Silicon-based and 1300 nm InGaAs-based
detection, respectively; ultra-low-noise measurement performance; and high
shunt resistance. The detectors are seamlessly integrated within a single,
compact thru-hole or SMD package. They are also both REACH and RoHS compliant.

Small-to-medium-sized
quantities of standard Models MT03-041 (TO-5) and MT03-047 (SMD) are typically
available with 24-hour shipment from stock via Marktech global distribution partner, Digi-Key Electronics. Optional
accessories for Models MT03-041 (TO-5) and MT03-047 (SMD), also available from
Marktech, include UV-to-IR-to-SWIR range emitters. Each emitter may be
mechanically and spectrally matched, then combined with the photodetector as a
single, compact package. Custom designs may be produced in as few as 6-8 weeks
from customer prototype approvals. Please consult Marktech’s Latham, New York global
corporate headquarters and R&D center for assistance.

Typical applications for Marktech broadband hybrid Silicon-InGaAs photodetectors include medical, industrial, high-speed communications, security and spectroscopy.
