Range Finding APDs in Smallest Possible SMD Housing - Low-Cost Avalanche Photodiode in an M1 Package

18 Apr 2018

LASER COMPONENTS has announced that its cost-effective SAH series of avalanche photodiodes

is now available in an M1 package. This is the smallest available SMD housing, at

only 2mm x 1.4mm.

Optimised for wavelengths of 850nm and 905nm, these components are mainly designed

for range finding applications in which larger detectors cannot be installed due to lack of

space. Consumer products are another common field of application.

Depending on the version, the diameter of the detector area is 230μm or 500μm. Like the

SAH versions in M2 and M2F packages, these APDs feature low noise and a particularly

short response time as well as operating temperatures between -40°C and +85°C.
