Today I am posting a new type of business edition post for the Precision with Light publication (also a Photonics Precision Technologies publication). It recovers what once was part - the commercial suggestions part - of this publication at a time when I would wrap up a numerous set of of links or sub-posts in the same edition. This has now changed and I am now publishing a single edition post with a dedicated topic.
The dedicted topic today is a product suggestion. Product suggestions now replaces former commercial suggestions. It will provide a featured product relevant for the Photonics industry from one important manufacturer or simply a provider. The important manufacturer of this product choice today is Hamamatsu - a Japanese Photonics advanced product manufacturer. It features a Multipixel Photon Counter (MPPC), a component used in modern LiDAR devices applications, in particular for distance measurements.
In the final part of the post there are set of hyperlinks directing the interested buyer to click to read more information about this product as well as a contact Hamamatsu link.
MPPC® for automotive LiDAR
having high sensitivity in near infrared region at 905 nm
S15639-1325PS
S15639-1325PS is a MPPC having high sensitivity in near infrared region for automotive LiDAR.
LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by irradiating a laser light on objects and receiving the light reflected back with a photosensor.
Generally, the laser light having peak emission of near infrared (905 nm) is used for LiDAR. In case of measuring for a long distance accurately, high near infrared sensitivity and low afterpulse are required for the photosensors.
Newly released S15639-1325PS has realized high photon detection efficiency (9%) at near infrared region, and low afterpulse (1% max.).
[ Features ]
・High photon detection efficiency: 9% (λ=905 nm)
・Low afterpulse probability: 1% max.
・Wide dynamic range
・Low crosstalk
