Place an order directly with manufacturers of photodiodes Two well-known photodiode manufacturers are Hammatsu and OSI Optoelectronics. Hammatsu is well-known for its research into the basic and applied aspects of light science. OSI Optoelectronics is a result of the consolidation of several subsidiaries under the same brand name. They now manufacture photodiodes for applications within every field from medical to the military.

I recommend:  You must register as a new user on the Hammatsu site in order to request price quotes and detailed product information. You can also buy photodiodes directly from OSI Systems. Fill out the form on their website to contact sales and technical support, and a representative will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

Order customized photodiodes for your company Your project may require non-standard photodiodes. If that's the case, there are suppliers of photodiodes that are capable of processing photodiodes in any geometry necessary.

I recommend:  You can purchase custom detector dies--including a single element diode, a photodiode array, or a multi-element diode--from Detection Technology. Quantum Devices work with planar photodiodes. They are able to customize single or multiple diode structures on a single photodiode circuit chip.

Pay wholesale prices with leading photodiode distributors There are numerous distributors of photodiodes that allow you to cut costs by purchasing in bulk. TTI is the world's leading authorized distributor specialist offering passive, connector, electromechanical and discrete components. Newark is a leading electronics distributor that supports millions of purchasing professionals and engineers across the country.

I recommend:  TTI has a wide selection of photodiodes available for purchase on their website. Check out how many they have in stock, and request a price quote. Newark also offers photodiodes from a number of different manufacturers. The more you purchase, the cheaper per unit price you pay.
