High-speed photodiodes
(S5973 series: 1 GHz)
The S5971, S5972 and S5973 series are high-speed Si PIN photodiodes designed for visible to near infrared light detec-
tion. These photodiodes provide wideband characteristics at a low bias, making them suitable for optical communications
and other high-speed photometry. The S5973 series includes a mini-lens type (S5973-01) that can be efficiently coupled
to an optical fiber and a violet sensitivity enhanced type (S5973-02) ideal for violet laser detection.
