A new class of photodiode sensors

The devices are based on InGaAs technology


Laser Components has revamped its InGaAs and extended InGaAs photodiode technology, which it says has led to the development of ground breaking industrial “Plug&Play” sensors.

The MAJOR-A, pictured above, is a digital photodiode sensor (DPDS) for integration into conventional structures with a central host.

This new class of universal, purely digital sensors is said to be the first of its kind and can serve as the building blocks of intelligent networks on the path to Industry 4.0.

Features include:
    Panchromatic detector with a sensitivity range from 450nm to more than 2000 nm
    Reduced temperature dependence of the photodiode
    Flawless functionality in (core) systems
    Readout of evidential data (e.g., data can be tagged with a time stamp)
    Calibration option
    Internal storage capacity
    Integration of a standard mechanical interface (M12 housing)
    Digital and analogue output

The MAJOR-A was created for different target groups: from laser manufacturers to manufacturers of laser-based machine tools and NIR-based measurement or monitoring equipment. The temperature coefficient of sensitivity is less than 0.01%/K for wavelength below 2100 nm.
