Product catalog summary
Overview
The C30724 series by Excelitas is a stable gain silicon avalanche photodiode (APD) designed for high volume range finding applications. It operates at gains between 10 to 20 and requires an operating voltage of 120 to 200 volts. The APD is suitable for applications such as laser range finding and optical communication systems due to its high speed and low noise characteristics.

Key Features
  • High quantum efficiency of 75% at 900 nm.
  • Low capacitance of ≤ 1 pF.
  • Fast time response of approximately 5 ns.
  • Low noise and high bandwidth.
  • Available in hermetically sealed, built-in filter, and plastic encapsulated packages.
  • RoHS compliant.

Applications
  • Range finding
  • Laser meters
  • Distance measurement
  • Optical communication

Mechanical and Optical Characteristics
The APDs are available in three package types: C30724EH (hermetic TO-18), C30724EH-2 (TO-18 with filter), and C30724PH (plastic encapsulated). Each has a circular shape with a useful area of 0.2 mm² and a diameter of 0.5 mm.

Electrical Characteristics
  • Breakdown voltage: 350 V
  • Operating voltage: 150-200 V
  • Gain at 900 nm: 12-18
  • Total dark current: 20 nA
  • Noise current: 0.1-0.25 pA/√Hz
  • Capacitance: 1.0 pF
  • Rise and fall time: 5 ns
  • Maximum forward current: 5 mA
  • Power dissipation: 60 mW
  • Operating temperature: -40 to +70 °C
  • Storage temperature: -60 to +100 °C

Figures and Graphs
  • Figures illustrate typical responsivity vs. wavelength and gain range vs. voltage.
  • Package dimensions are provided for each APD type.

Handling and Compliance
  • APDs should be handled at an ESD-safe workstation.
  • Compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.

Warranty
A standard 12-month warranty applies, void if the photodiode window is opened.

C307 24 Series-1

Photon Detection Stable Gain Silicon Avalanche Photodiode (APD) for High Volume Range Finding Excelitas’ C30724 series avalanche photodiode is designed for operation at gains in the range 10 to 20. The operating voltage range is 120 to 200 Volts, and in many applications, the APD can be operated at a fixed bias voltage, without the need for temperature compensation. The C30724 series APDs provide high responsivity in the wavelength range 800 to 950 nm, and rise and fall times of about 5 ns, with no "tail" in the fall time characteristic. They are particularly suited for high volume applications such as Laser Range Finding, Optical Communication Systems and other applications requiring high speed and low noise. These APDs come in three different packages, designed to meet the needs of high volume and low cost applications. The C30724EH is in a hermetically sealed TO-18 can. The C30724EH-2 is a modified TO-18 with a built in 905 nm narrow band pass filter. The C30724PH is in a TO-18 plastic encapsulated package. As the C30724 series intended use is for large volume applications, it is often offered in pair with Excelitas’ high volume plastic encapsulated 905 nm pulsed laser diodes PGEW, DPGEW and TPGEW series. Please inquire about our large volume APD and Pulse Laser pair pricing for your specific application.
