Purchasing Advisor for Infrared Detectors
Find all you need for professionally buying infrared detectors: a comprehensive expert-curated directory of suppliers, scientific and technical background information, and an interactive AI-based tool with guidance for a structured decision process.
You appear to be visiting from North America. Many listed suppliers are based in this region, making the RP Photonics Buyer's Guide highly relevant for your needs.
Top-level product category: detectors and measurements
More general product categories: photodetectors
Various types of photodetectors can be used for infrared radiation. They are often based on semiconductors with small bandgap energy, and those for relatively long wavelengths often need cryogenic operation conditions. These detectors are crucial for applications in astronomy, defense, and industrial process monitoring.
Interactive Purchase Decision Tool
Purchasing high-value photonics products is a substantial responsibility. Using a structured decision-making process and high quality supplier data helps a lot:
- Find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers).
- Our interactive tool conveniently assists you in defining and applying your application-specific requirements.

![]() Sophisticated Tools for Signal Recovery FEMTO Messtechnik GmbHKlosterstraße 64 10179 Berlin Germany | ![]() FEMTO offers a wide range of very low-noise infrared photodetectors. They offer bandwidths up to 2 GHz and gains up to approximately 1011 V/W, resulting in measurement ranges from sub-pW to mW. The NEP reaches a minimum of 7.5 fW/√Hz using InGaAs photodiodes covering a wavelength range up to 1700 nm, with either a free space or fiber input (FC/PC, FC/APC). Many types and models are switchable in gain and bandwidth and can be controlled manually or remotely via PC. Customized models are available upon request. Product-specific web page |
![]() Lasers, Optics, Electronics. Made in Germany. ALPHALAS GmbHBertha-von-Suttner-Str. 5 37085 Göttingen Germany | ![]() Ultrafast photodetectors from ALPHALAS are suitable for measuring optical waveforms with rise times starting from 10 ps and spectral coverage for the IR region up to 2600 nm have bandwidths from DC up to 30 GHz. Available configurations include free-space, fiber receptacle or SM-fiber-pigtailed options and have compact metal housings for noise immunity. For maximum flexibility, most models are not internally terminated. A 50 Ohm external termination supports the highest speed operation, while a high impedance load generates large amplitude signals. Applications include pulse form and pulse width measurement, laser synchronization, mode beating monitoring and heterodyne measurements. Balanced photodiodes complement the large selection for these models. Product-specific web page |
![]() Arzbergerstr. 10 82211 Herrsching Germany | ![]() Hamamatsu Photonics provide sensors and modules for infrared light detection. Our product lineup includes InGaAs photodiodes, InAs and InSb photovoltaic detectors, thermopile detectors, and more. These detectors are designed for high sensitivity, low noise, and fast response across different spectral ranges. Product-specific web page |
