High Speed Silicon Photodiodes

high_speed_siliconOSI Optoelectronics High Speed Silicon series are small area devices optimized for fast response time or High bandwith applications. The BPX-65 complements the rest of the high speed group with an industry standard. The spectral range for these devices goes from 350 nm to 1100 nm. The responsivity and response time are optimized such that the HR series exhibit a peak responsivity of 0.50 A/W at 800 nm and typical response times of a few hundred pico seconds at -5V.

Note that for all high-speed photodetectors, a reverse bias is required to achieve the fastest response times. However, the reverse bias should be limited to maximum reverse voltage specified to avoid damage to the detector. Output signals can be measured directly with an oscilloscope or coupled to high frequency amplifiers as shown in figure 10 of the Photodiode Characteristics section of the catalog. All parts in the High-Speed silicon series are available with a flat window or ball lens (L).
