Photodiodes
Register and detect electron, X-ray and photon energy
Semiconductor detectors are the most utilized optical detectors today. Silicon-based detectors are used for measuring light wavelengths ranging from deep UV and visible to Near-IR and commonly known as Photodiodes.
Nanor offers Photodiodes suitable for high sensitivity and high speed within a specified spectral region. Especially developed detectors can even detect high energy radiation such as deep UV, electrons, and X-ray.
We are here to assist you in finding the most suitable detector to meet your needs!
