Excelitas Technologies introduces the VTH21 Series photodiodes for radon gas detection

    Excelitas introduces its new VTH21 series photodiodes for radon gas detection. Ethelida's low capacitance VTH21 silicon photodiode series provides the best alpha particle detection in chip form and is highly responsive to associated radiation, making the new photodiodes an ideal solution for radon gas detection and alpha particle detection.

    The flexible size design of the product can be tailored to the specific needs of the customer to provide maximum signal in Alpha particle detection system applications. These photodiodes have a robust chip design and come in waffle disc or Myra film (preferred) packaging. They are available in two different specifications of standard chips. It has a large effective area of 5x5mm (VTH2110) and 10x10mm (VTH2120), respectively, and the spectral response is between 400 nm-1100 nm.

    "We are excited to introduce the new VTH21 series photodiodes for radon gas detection," said Denis Boudreau, Excelitas Product Leader for Photon Detection Technologies. Thanks to the robust chip design of this series, low-capacitance silicon photodiodes are highly responsive to associated radiation without a radiation-absorbing window. As such, they are the best choice for alpha particle detection instrument design engineers, enabling customers to integrate photodiodes into their systems at the highest signal levels and cost performance."
