Boosting infrared avalanche photodiode sensitivity with antimony
A board-mounted InGaAs avalanche photodiode. Possible application areas for Phlux Technology's antimony-based APDs include high-speed communications, lidar and medical imaging and diagnostics tools, as well as industrial and defence sensing systems (Image: Phlux Technology)
By replacing the conventional multiplication layer in InGaAs APDs with a novel antimony-based alloy, Sheffield-born Phlux Technology has reduced excess noise
