What are InGaAs Detectors?
InGaAs (Indium Gallium Arsenide) detectors are semiconductor photodetectors specifically designed for infrared light detection in the 900-1700nm wavelength range. These components play mission-critical roles across industries by converting near-infrared radiation into electrical signals with superior efficiency compared to conventional silicon-based alternatives.
Their unique material composition enables exceptional performance in applications requiring
