    Opto Diode Corporation, an ITW companyannounces a new high-speed photodetector, the AXUV63HS1.  With a circular active area of 9 mm diameter (typically 63 mm²), the photodiode is ideal for electron detection. The new device joins Opto Diode’s family of AXUV detectors that features high-performance measurement of electrons, photons, or X-rays. 

     

    The AXUV63HS1 has a typical rise time of 10 nsec and a maximum dark current of 100 nA, with a minimum reverse breakdown voltage of 160 Volts. To view other specifications and responsivity graphs, please download Opto Diode’s data sheet here:  https://optodiode.com/pdf/AXUV63HS1DS.pdf.

     

    Opto Diode’s high-speed photodiode is shipped with a cover plate to protect the photodiode chip and the wire bonds. Storage and operating temperatures range from   -10 °C to +40 °C (ambient) and from -20 °C to +80 °C in nitrogen or vacuum environments.  The lead soldering temperature is 260 °C.
