NEWBURY PARK, Calif., June 23, 2008 -- Opto Diode Corp. said its new 5-mm² photodiode-preamplifier, ODA-5WB-100K, is the first of three new products in its series of blue/green-enhanced devices.

The new silicon detector-preamp features 100-K-ohm gain (custom gains are also available, upon request). It offers wavelength response at 450 nm, typically 28 V/mW (min. 20). Responsivity ranges from 400 to 1100 nm, with a peak spectral response of 940 nm and features a large active area, high sensitivity, and extremely low noise, the company said.

The preamp-detector is hermetically sealed in a TO-39 can for convenient and easy integration into new or existing systems, Opto Diode said. Storage and operating temperatures range from -25 to +100 °C

The product is priced at $63.75 each in quantities of 100 units. The device can be used in industrial and biomedical applications such as fluorescence and phosphorescence, the company said.
