Patent-pending technology has been tapped to develop a two-dimensional silicon (Si) photodiode array that exhibits extremely low crosstalk. Manufactured using a micro-machining process, the S8593 is a ...

Hamamatsu Photonics announces the release of the S15152 Si PIN photodiode, engineered to support researchers and engineers requiring accurate, high‑speed detection in laser‑based and electronics ...

Recent advances in silicon photonics have aided the development of on-chip communications. Power consumption, however, remains an issue in almost all integrated devices. Here, we report a 10 Gbit per ...

Optical systems have many unique attributes that make them useful for range detection and communications, but often the optical signal needs to be converted to an electrical signal as part of the ...

Editor’s note: This article will be in two parts. Part 1 is component-related and Part 2 is applications. Please also see Planet Analog blog “LEDs Are Photodiodes Too” as an intro to this article.
