NIR photodiode preamplifier
Opto Diode (Newbury Park, CA) has introduced a photodiode preamplifier combination device that features higher gain in lower light environments. The new NIR/Red Enhanced 6mm² ODA-6W-500M Photodetector-Preamplifier is ideal for fluorescence microscopy and analytical chemistry. The low light, high sensitivity component has a large active area that operates in the NIR wavelength with response at 940 nm (typically 315 V/µW, min. 290). The standard 6mm² ODA-6W-500M offers 500 Mohm gain with custom gains also available, per customer specifications. Opto Diode's new component is based on their proprietary shielded amplifier electronics, featuring extremely low noise and high sensitivity in the red enhanced preamp combination detector.
