API specializes in the design and manufacture of customer optoelectronic solutions, patented high-speed optical receivers and terahertz instrumentation.

Optoelectronic Solutions

From custom-designed mask sets for silicon photodiodes and LED displays to hybrid assemblies, we follow a collaborative design process with our customers to create optimal solutions for each application. API’s comprehensive design abilities offer you a broad array of options in detector geometry and performance, package type, and integration of electronics, optics and filters. We utilize CAD software for printed circuit board layout and mechanical designs. API’s extensive electrical circuit design capability spans the range of detectors and emitters as individual components or as subassemblies with electronic circuitry. Our electronic documentation system gives our experienced application and design engineers optimal control, employing automated assembly equipment and computer-controlled test systems. Our hybridization capabilities allow the addition of amplifiers and other circuitry to our detectors in hermetic packages.
