Advanced Photonix, Inc. Announces New Series in LAAPD Product Line.Business Editors CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 5, 2000 Advanced Photonix, Inc.(R) (ASE (Adaptive Server Enterprise) A relational DBMS from Sybase that runs on Windows NT/2000, Linux and a variety of Unix platforms. ASE is a comprehensive and robust data management product with a long history dating back to the late 1980s. :API), a leading supplier of innovative, silicon-based electro-optical products and technology solutions to a worldwide OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customer base, announced that it has recently introduced a smaller, lower cost detector to its current line of Large Area Avalanche Photodiodes (LAAPDs). The new 581 Series employs a 3 mm diameter LAAPD and offers faster response and lower dark current than the company's larger LAAPDs, while preserving all of the other LAAPD performance benefits, including high gain, superior quantum efficiency, wide spectral response The variable output of a light-sensitive device that is based on the color of the light it perceives. and large dynamic range. The 581 Series also includes a built-in temperature monitor which enables the user to stabilize the detector's responsivity over a wide range of ambient temperatures and signal levels. The unique combination of low cost, solid state reliability and a rugged, hermetically her·met·ic also her·met·i·cal adj. 1. Completely sealed, especially against the escape or entry of air. 2. Impervious to outside interference or influence: sealed package makes these new detectors ideal for a wide variety of OEM industrial, medical and scientific uses. Typical applications include spectroscopy, flow cytometry flow cytometry (flōˑ sī·t  ˑ·m , retinal scanning, colorimetry colorimetryMeasurement of the intensity of electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum transmitted through a solution or transparent solid. It is used to identify and determine the concentrations of substances that absorb light of a specific wavelength or colour , scintillation scintillation /scin·til·la·tion/ (sin?ti-la´shun) 1. an emission of sparks. 2. a subjective visual sensation, as of seeing sparks. 3. detection, radiation monitoring, semiconductor inspection, environmental monitoring and high pressure liquid chromatography. In commenting on the new line, Brock Koren, API's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The new 3 mm device is an extremely fast detector we can offer at a very affordable price. Introducing this new series effectively broadens our LAAPD product line and allows us entry into additional market segments." Advanced Photonix is a high-technology company that designs and manufactures silicon photodetectors, optoelectronic hybrid assemblies and proprietary solid state avalanche photodiodes. Products include the patented Large Area Avalanche Photodiode (LAAPD) and Filtrode(R) detectors, as well as PIN photodiodes.
