The series feature higher photon detection efficiency (PDE), increased from around 2% to approximately 7% at 905nm. This higher sensitivity enables longer range distance measurements or a better quality signal (SNR).
In addition, they deliver a wide operating temperature and storage temperature range from -40 to +85ºC and -40 to +105ºC respectively). The S13720 series has a photosensitive area of 1.3×1.3mm, a 25μm pixel pitch and a fill factor of 47%.
Other features include a high gain of 1.1×106, reduced crosstalk where crosstalk occurrences have been reduced to just 6%, while after pulsing affects are minimal. The typical dark count value is 500 kcps.
