Introduction to Photodetectors - Hamamatsu Corporation
Photodetectors—such as photodiodes (PDs), avalanche photodiodes (APDs), photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs)—are essential components in a vast array of modern scientific and commercial instruments and devices; technological progress will make them even more ubiquitous. Part 2 of this two-part webinar discusses the following topics: photodetectors’ structures and operation, their applications, and the selection of a photodetector.
