Key Benefits

  • 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.
