Opto Diode’s New Quadrant Photodiode 5 mm2 – SXUVPS4C

Newbury Park, CA, November 21, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Opto Diode (www.optodiode.com), a division of ITW, and a member of the ITW Photonics Group, introduces the SXUVPS4C, a quadrant photodiode with a 5 mm2 active area in each quadrant. The new device is the first of two new SXUV multi-element photodiodes to be introduced.

The convenient TO-5 windowless package features a 5-pin header, making it easy to integrate into new or existing systems. With light responsivity from 1 to 1000 nm and a shunt resistance of 100 Mohms, the new quadrant photodiode is ideal for 2 axes-positional-centering applications for lasers in the 13.5 nm to 200 nm wavelength range. The proven stability over time and high-power, short wavelength applications ensure stable responsivity over years, for the typical application.

Operating and storage temperatures range from -10 degrees C to 40 degrees C (ambient) and from -20 degrees C to 80 degrees C (in nitrogen or vacuum conditions). The maximum junction temperature is 70 degrees C and the lead-soldering temperature is 260 degrees C at 0.080 in. from the case for 10 seconds.

Opto Diode’s new SXUVPS4C quadrant photodiodes are available for shipping now. For more information about Opto Diode’s new SXUV detector series, please go to: http://optodiode.com/pdf/SXUVPS4.pdf.
