IngaAs photodiode sensors are based on semiconductor light sensors which generates photocurrent when its active area is illuminated by light. Generally, the sensitivity of InGaAs photodiode sensors range between 800nm to 1700 nm. The sensor offers low noise, high sensitivity, high speed, and a spectral response ranging from 0.5 μm to 2.6 μm.

Market Dynamics

The global market is majorly driven by increasing application of InGaAs photodiode sensors in light detection and ranging (LiDAR). LiDAR stands for light detecting and ranging, a remote sensing method which is used to measure distances. The distance is measured by emitting a laser light to the target and the LiDAR detects its reflection with a photo sensor. LiDAR is increasingly adopted in applications such as automotive ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), automated guided vehicle (AGV), and range finding. Light sources such as laser and photo sensors such as InGaAs photo diodes are employed in LiDAR.

For instance, Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., a Japan-based company which is specialized in designing and manufacturing optical devices, sensors, and their applied instruments, offers pulsed laser diodes for LiDAR and a variety of high-sensitivity photo sensors that can be used for short, mid, and long-range detection by ADAS and autonomous vehicles. These photo sensors include Si PIN photodiodes, Si APD, InGaAs avalanche photodiodes (APD), MPPCs (SiPMs), and distance image sensors. Moreover, the company offers G14858-0020AB InGaAs avalanche photodiodes designed for distance measurement applications using 1550 nm wavelength.

Additionally, short-wave infrared (SWIR) detectors and emitters have a high potential value in several applications including the Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) photo detectors are widely used in the SWIR (Short-wave infrared) devices.

For instance, FLIR Systems, Inc. offers the FLIR A6260 InGaAs SWIR camera. This InGaAs camera is linear with 0.9 to 1.7 µm sensing waveband, making it the perfect tool for high temperature thermal measurements and applications that require measuring through standard glass. FLIR Systems, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies, specialized in designing and manufacturing thermal energy products.
