Buying Photodiode Arrays
Photodiode arrays are often linear arrays containing multiple photodiodes. One-dimensional arrays are used for spectrographs and position sensors, while two-dimensional arrays are used for imaging applications.

 Enabling the SPAD revolution Pi Imaging Technology SABâtiment C, EPFL Innovation Park 1015 Lausanne Switzerland |  SPAD 23 is a photon-counting array with 23 hexagonally packed single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) with best-in-class performance. The system software enables photon counting and time tagging and can be accessed through TCP/IP for easy integration into LabVIEW, MATLAB or Python. See our data sheet. SPAD 512 is a camera integrating a 512×512 SPAD image sensor. Up to 100,000 fps in 1-bit mode enable high-speed imaging (photon-counting). Fine time gating enables the study of time-varying samples. See our data sheet. SPAD Lambda is a linear detector with a 320×1 SPAD array. It features single-photon detectors (SPADs) enabling both photon-counting and photon-time tagging. This arrangement is ideal for spectral detection applications. Thanks to microlenses and state-of-the-art production facilities, this detector offers high detection efficiency. The detector is capable of both time gating and time stamping for the ultimate control over time-varying signals of interest. See our data sheet. |
