Silicon PIN Photodiode
Description
BPV21F(L) is a high speed and high sensitive PIN pho-
todiode in a plasic package with a cylindrical side view
lens. The epoxy package itself is an IR filter, spectrally
matched to GaAs or GaAs/GaAlAs IR emitters
(l p = 950 nm).
Lens radius and chip position are perfectly matched to
the chip size, giving high sensitivity without compro-
mising the viewing angle.
In comparison with flat packages the cylindrical lens
package achieves a sensitivity improvement of 20 %.
