Product Announcement: Ql03 Photoreceiver

We’ve just launched a new photoreceiver over at our sister site, Hobbs ElectroOptics: the QL03 Photoreceiver. It’s designed for low-light applications that demand high sensitivity and low noise.

QL03 Photoreceiver


Highlights

  • 150 mm² photodiode with immersion lens for large-area light collection
  • 1 MΩ transimpedance gain, DC–750 kHz bandwidth
  • Shot-noise-limited above 100 nA input current across its full bandwidth.
  • Excellent for diffuse sources, spectroscopy, and fluorescence
  • Bootstrap amplifier topology enables this unusual balance of speed, noise performance, and collection area.
  • Built for real lab use — not just the datasheet. Faraday cage enclosure keeps the ambient noise down.

This receiver makes alignment easy (you’re aiming at a barn door), while delivering professional-grade performance for demanding optical measurements. Great for lab use, bread / brass board designs, and proof of concepts. When you’re ready to move to production we can help you integrate the design into your product. Whether you’re in a research lab or prototyping a product, it’s ready to go.
