Product Information

Silicon Photodiodes Electron/XUV, UV, Vis, NIR

Stockcode:

We offer a range of standard silicon photodiodes from Opto Diode Corporation (ODC).

ODC was established in 1981 to develop and produce world-leading high power NIR LEDs. They entered the silicon photodiode market in 2003 and in mid-2004 completed an investment of over 1 million Dollars covering dedicated Class 1000 cleanroom and state-of-the-art photolithography and wafer fabrication facilities.

In 2011 ODC completed the acquisition of International Radiation Detectors, world-leaders in extreme UV and direct electron detection silicon photodiodes.

In 2014 Opto Diode moved the short distance from Newbury Park to Camarillo, taking over a larger facility which was re-equipped with the latest equipment and greatly expanded cleanroom space.

Silicon photodiodes are semiconductors that generate a current or voltage when illuminated by light. They have no internal gain, but can operate with much greater dynamic range than other types of photon detectors.

ODC’s engineering staff have more than 50 years' experience in the design and manufacture of silicon photodiodes and use this to full effect to offer standard and custom detector solutions with high quality, cost-effective pricing and very quick turnaround. ODC welcomes the opportunity to design a custom solution to meet your exact needs.
