The SPM Series High Gain Avalanche Photodiodes (APD), also known as Silicon Photomultipliers (SPM or SiPM), are a new solid state alternative to the aging Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) technology. These devices combine the high gain (10
6) and high quantum efficiency of the PMT with the well appreciated benefits of silicon including small size, low operating voltage, robustness, reliability, magnetic field insensitivity, tolerance of excess/ambient light and suitability for miniaturization. In addition, a novel design allows a high signal to noise ratio and a very fast pulse response. PMTs are to light bulbs as the SPMs are to LEDs. Whether your application is a large area radiation detection, a benchtop instrument or a full-scale laboratory analysis instrument, the SPM Series detectors will provide significant benefit over existing detector platforms.
