Products
Photodiodes
Our photodiodes cover a broad spectral range, from near-infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths to high-energy regions. Available in metal, ceramic, and module types.
Avalanche photodiodes (APDs)
APDs are photodiodes with internal gain produced by the application of a reverse voltage. They have a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than PIN photodiodes, as well as fast time response, low dark current, and high sensitivity.
SiPMs / SPADs
MPPCMPPC (Multi-Pixel Photon Counter) is a device called SiPM, which is a photon counting device that is a multi-pixelized Geiger mode APD.
Image sensors
Image sensors with high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range that are ideal for high precision measurement such as spectrophotometry, as well as industrial measurement.
Distance & position sensors
Sensors used for distance measurement and position detection. Suitable for many applications, such as LiDAR.
- CamerasOur cameras are designed to deliver beautiful and reliably quantitative images even in the most demanding of applications.
