Sheffield, UK,13th February 2024: Phlux Technology, a manufacturer of avalanche photodiode (APD) infrared sensors, has announced that it has become a member of EPIC, the European Photonics Industry Consortium. EPIC has over 800 members and facilitates close cooperation in technical and commercial development for photonics businesses.
Phlux announced its first products, the Aura family of 1550 nm APDs, in January 2024 and it already enjoying commercial success based on the benefits delivered by the company’s Noiseless InGaAs® APD technology. With 12X the sensitivity of other best-in-class InGaAs APDs, these sensors are used in LiDAR, laser rangefinder, and optical fibre test equipment applications. Here they extend operating range by up to 50% while cutting size, cost, and complexity of systems.
