Due to the high demand, LASER COMPONENTS DG is expanding its range of standard products. New this year is a reach-through APD with a diameter of 1.5 mm. The SAR1500 has been optimized for the NIR range and, at the same time, has a high sensitivity in the visible range. The 1.5 mm APD thus optimally bridges the gap between the existing 230 µm, 500 µm, and 3.0 mm APDs.
The 230 µm and 500 µm APDs are now available with a fiber pigtail for applications in which the APD has to be positioned away from the actual signal being measured. The components are available with different fibers and connectors based on customer requirements.
