Opto Diode Announces AXUV20HS1, a High-Speed, 5 mm² Circular Photodiode for Radiation Detection

CAMARILLO, Calif. - Nov. 7, 2018 - Opto Diode Corporation, an ITW company, introduces a high-speed photodetector with a circular active area of 5 mm diameter (typically 20 mm). It is ideal for high-speed detection of low-energy electrons or X-rays. The AXUV20HS1 is one of several AXUV detectors that feature high performance measurement of photons, electrons, or X-rays.

The device features electron detection to 200 eV. The high-speed detector has a typical rise time of 3.5 nanoseconds.

To view the responsivity graphs for the AXUV20HS1 photodiodes, please go to Opto Diode’s data sheet here: https://optodiode.com/pdf/AXUV20HS1DS.pdf.

To learn more about Opto Diode’s AXUV family of detectors that detect energy from 100eV to 50keV for the measurement of photons, electrons, or X-rays from 0.0124 nm to 190 nm, please contact sales@optodiode.com or visit: https://optodiode.com/photodiodes-axuv-detectors.htm.
