For instance, in January 2024, Phlux unveils ultra-sensitive avalanche photodiode IR sensors. The Aura family of 1550 nm devices based on the company’s Noiseless InGaAs APD technology are 12X more sensitive than traditional best-in-class InGaAs APDs. As a result, the operating range of LiDAR, laser rangefinders, and optical fibre test equipment can be extended by up to 50% using these Phlux sensors, which have been designed as drop-in replacements for existing surface mount or TO-packaged components.
The photodiode sensor market faces competition from alternative light detection technologies, such as charge-coupled devices (CCDs) and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensors. These alternative technologies offer different advantages, such as higher resolution or better integration with other components. The presence of competing technologies can affect the market share and growth prospects for photodiode sensors.
