Our range of Position Sensing Detectors (PSDs) from SiTek Electro Optics AB are commonly used for visible-IR sensing applications (400-1100 nm). To complement these detectors and expand their application range we can optimise the active area for UV sources in the range of 200-400 nm!
With this optimisation you can use PSDs as you would with a visible or IR laser source for position detection of UV lasers and other UV light sources. Any of our PSDs can be optimised for UV detection, allowing you to use any size from 2.5 mm to 60 mm (1 dimensional device) and 2 mm² to 45 mm² to suit your application.
PSDs are analogue devices which operate according to the Lateral Effect Photodiode principle, displaying excellent position resolution (which is determined by the system signal-to-noise ratio).
