Si photodiodes S2592/S3477 series Thermoelectrically cooled photodiodes for low-light-level detection in UV to near IR The S2592/S3477 series sensors combine a UV to near infrared Si photodiode with a thermoelectric cooler. A thermistor is also included in the same package to sense the Si photodiode chip temperature. This allows stable operation over long periods of time, making these sensors suitable for low-light-level detection where a high S/N is required. The S2592 series is hermetically sealed in a TO-8 package, and the S3477 series in a TO-66 package. A dedicated temperature controller (C1103-04) and heatsink (A3179 series) are also available as options (sold separately). Low-light-level detection High UV sensitivity Built-in thermistor allows stable operation.

Temperature controller for TE-cooled detector C1103-04 By adjusting the current ﬂowing through the thermoelectric cooler in a one-stage or twostage thermoelectrically cooled detector, the C1103-04 maintains the detector element at a constant temperature. The cooling temperature can be easily set by using the control knob on the front panel.

Precautions against UV light exposure ∙ When UV light irradiation is applied, the product characteristics may degrade. Such examples include degradation of the product’s UV sensitivity and increase in dark current. This phenomenon varies depending on the irradiation level, irradiation intensity, usage time, and ambient environment and also varies depending on the product model. Before employing the product, we recommend that you check the tolerance under the ultraviolet light environment that the product will be used in. ∙ Exposure to UV light may cause the characteristics to degrade due to...
