CD-1705, Photovoltaic

Photovoltaic Series Planar Diffused Silicon Photodiodes The Photovoltaic Detector series is utilized for applications requiring high sensitivity and moderate response speeds, with an additional sensitivity in the visible-blue region for the blue enhanced series.

The spectral response ranges from 350 to 1100 nm, making the regular photovoltaic devices ideal for visible and near IR applications.

For additional sensitivity in the 350 nm to 550 nm region, the blue enhanced devices are more suitable.

CD-1705 Features

* These detectors are not designed to be reverse biased! Very slight improvement in response time may be obtained with a slight bias. Applying a reverse bias of more than a few volts (>3V) will permanently damage the detectors. If faster response times are required, the Photoconductive Series should
