Where to Buy Photodiodes
Photodiodes, available in p–n and p–i–n designs, are made from materials like silicon, germanium, and indium gallium arsenide. They differ in wavelength regions, responsivity, active area, dark current, and electrical capacitance.
More general products: photodetectors
More specific products: avalanche photodiodes, p–i–n photodiodes
Related products: photodiode amplifiers, photodiode arrays, balanced photodetectors
Related product category: detectors and measurements

| Company | Product Description |
 Lasers, Optics, Electronics. Made in Germany. Bertha-von-Suttner-Str. 5 37085 Göttingen Germany |  Ultrafast photodetectors from ALPHALAS for measurement of optical waveforms with rise times starting from 10 ps and total spectral coverage from 170 to 2600 nm (VUV to IR) have bandwidths from DC up to 30 GHz. Configurations include free-space, fiber receptacle or SM-fiber-pigtailed options and have compact metal housings for noise immunity. The UV-extended versions of the Si photodiodes are the only commercial products that cover the spectral range from 170 to 1100 nm with a rise time < 50 ps. 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 duration measurement, mode beating monitoring and heterodyne measurements. Balanced photodiodes complement the large selection of more than 70 unique models. |
 Fraunhoferstr. 22 82152 Martinsried Germany DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 |  AMS Technologies carries an exceptionally broad range of photodiodes (PDs), based on various materials, cooled or uncooled, featuring single devices as well as photodiode arrays or assemblies:
