Custom-made photodetectors specifically designed and optimized to meet customer specifications

Marktech Optoelectronics has teamed up with Digi-Key to offer the ability to obtain custom-made photodetectors specifically designed and optimized to meet customer specifications.   The custom detectors can be made from any of the following Marktech product lines: silicon photovoltaic or photoconductive photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes, phototransistors, or InGaAs PIN photodiodes. Custom device packaging is also available, either to customer specifications or recommended by them to best suit the customer’s application.   “Marktech's specialty has been in the design, testing, and manufacturing of custom detectors, emitters and assemblies,” said Mark Campito, CEO at Marktech Optoelectronics. “Partnering up with Digi-Key allows us to connect with a broad range of designers that normally wouldn't be aware that these services are available to them.”   “As applications for photodetectors get more varied and complex, there is a need for our customers to design in components with tight specifications,” said David Stein, VP, Global Semiconductors at Digi-Key. “Having an option to obtain Marktech’s custom detectors through Digi-Key will make it easier for the design engineer and speed up the product development cycle.”
