The Challenge
Many new imaging and optical sensor applications, which are now in the stage of being deployed into mass applications like TOF, LiDAR or spectroscopy, suffer from very poor NIR sensitivity and non-existent or limited charge handling capacity as well as imaging speed. TOF and LiDAR applications need time resolving capabilities as fast as 100ps with very high sensitivity in the NIR domain. Our technology with a QE of more than 70% at 905nm allows best-in-class imaging in this specific application domain.
