Description

Peripheral Imaging Corporation's WS series is family of self-scanning photodiode solid-state

linear imaging arrays. These photodiode sensors employ PIC’s proprietary CMOS Image

Sensing Technology to integrate the sensors into single monolithic chip. These sensors are

optimally designed for applications in spectroscopy. Accordingly, these sensors contain a

linear array of photodiodes with an optimized geometrical aspect ratio (50-

µm aperture pitch x

2500-

µm aperture width) for helping to maintain mechanical stability in spectroscopic

instruments and for providing their light-capturing ability. The family of sensor consists of

active photodiode arrays of different number of pixels, 256 and 512.
