Selection Guide for Solid State NIR Detectors on the Fluorolog-QM

Solid state NIR detectors (NIR DSS) are an attractive alternative to NIR photomultipliers. In fact, they can be considered superior in many respects, as they offer much higher upper wavelength limits, are much less prone to damage when exposed to light, are not limited by dark counts when used for long lifetimes, and are considerably less expensive than NIR photomultipliers.
