Hamamatsu Photonics announces the release of a new silicon (Si) PIN photodiode, the S17348, engineered to support researchers and engineers requiring accurate, high‑speed detection in yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser and analytical instrumentation. With strong infrared sensitivity and fast temporal response, this sensor expands the toolkit available for optical measurement and monitoring applications.
Key benefits
Source: Hamamatsu Photonics
- Optimized for YAG laser detection: High infrared sensitivity of 0.37 A/W (λ = 1060 nm)
- Fast response for high-speed systems: 120 MHz cutoff frequence at VR = 100 V
- Large photosensitive area: Provides strong signal collection efficiency
- Long-term stability with robust packaging: Housed in a TO‑5 metal package
Target applications
The S17348 is ideal for YAG laser detection, and is also well suited to fiber laser detection, analytical instruments and other optical measurement systems requiring fast, stable signal monitoring. Its combination of infrared sensitivity and fast response makes it a strong fit for industrial and laboratory applications.
