PVA-1.7 SERIES

Product catalog summary

Overview: The PVA-1.7 series is a line of InGaAs room-temperature photovoltaic infrared detectors designed for various applications including gas detection, telecommunications, and LIDAR systems. These detectors feature a cut-off wavelength of 1.7 µm, anti-reflection coating, and a large active area, ensuring high performance and reliability.

Features:

Cut-off wavelength: 1.7 µm
Anti-reflection coating
Large active area
RoHs-compliant III-V material
High ambient operating and storage temperature
Long-term stability and reliability
Front-side illuminated
No minimum order quantity required

Applications: The detectors are suitable for gas detection, telecommunication, LIDARs, laser range finders, laser warning systems, laser and diode life tests, food analysis, and pharmaceutical analysis.

Detector Configuration: The series includes different models with varying active area diameters and package types, such as TO39 and TO8, with acceptance angles ranging from ~70 to ~90 degrees.

Specifications: At a typical ambient temperature of 293 K, the detectors exhibit peak wavelengths around 1.62 µm, with varying detectivity, current responsivity, dark current, and terminal capacitance depending on the model.

Mechanical Layout and Pinout: Technical drawings are provided for different package types, including TO39 and TO8 configurations.

Recommended Amplifiers: The document suggests various amplifier series compatible with each detector model, such as SIP-TO39, AIP, PIP, MIP, and SIP-TO8 series.

Absolute Maximum Ratings: The detectors can operate within an ambient temperature range of -20 to 70 °C and a storage temperature range of -40 to 85 °C. The maximum bias voltage varies with the active area diameter.

Graphs and Charts: The document includes spectral response, terminal capacitance vs. bias voltage, and dark current density vs. bias voltage graphs, illustrating the performance characteristics of each detector model.
