Phlux - Aura Noiseless InGaAs® 1550 nm APD sensors transform the performance of infrared systems

Phlux’s Noiseless InGaAs® Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) are up to 12✗ more sensitive than other best-in-class APDs, and they are drop-in replacements for those traditional components
For range finders, LiDAR, and optical fibre test equipment (OTDRs) this means:
Up to
50%
more range
Up to
12✗
higher resolution
Up to
30%
smaller systems
Up to
40%
lower system cost
