PerkinElmer Canada Inc.
Vaudreuil-Dorion, QC
Company Overview
Nature of Business:
The EG&G Optoelectronic Components Division is a broad based supplier of the most advanced optoelectronic components, from the ultra-violet to the far infrared. Products include emitters, detectors, flashlamps, photocells, lasers, power supplies and electronic imaging devices for instrumentation, military and aerospace, biomedical, surveillance and telecommunications applications. The Vaudreuil, Montreal facility manufactures a broad range of PIN and avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and receivers, and quantum well and MQW injection lasers and LEDs.
Major Achievements:
The development of multiplication theory for silicon APDs (1966) was critical in establishing EG&G as the world leader in production of these devices. Further work led to the production of low noise, silicon, reach-through APDs for the wavelength range 500nm to 1060nm (1970) and another version with enhanced response at 1060nm (1980). The work continued with the design and development of low noise, silicon, reach-through, multi-element APDs (1974). Eventually it became possible to make very low noise APDs with sufficient gain to allow production of photon counting modules (1989).
Since the 1980's EG&G has designed and developed InGaAs APDs and lasers for range finding applications and optical communications.
Company Background:
EG&G Inc. was founded over 45 years ago by three MIT technological pioneers whose early work in 'stop motion' analysis became the basis for the first patent on stroboscopes and the beginning of EG&G. Harold (Doc) Edgerton, Kenneth F. Germeshausen and Herbert E. Grier, whose initials form the company name, launched their tiny company from a converted garage in Boston where a variety of research and development contracts resulted in patents that subsequently allowed expansion into military and commercial markets. Today EG&G Inc. is a global technology company that provides complete systems as well as products to medical, aerospace, semiconductor, photographic and other industries. It delivers skilled support services to government and industrial customers. Based in Wellesley, Massachusetts, EG&G has annual sales of $2 billion and more than 13, 000 employees worldwide. The Vaudreuil facility was originally set up by RCA in 1985 and drew together the detector operation, already based in Montreal, and the emitter operation, based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The facility was bought by EG&G in 1990 to complement its developing, optoelectronic business.
Business Description:
EG&G Optoelectronics Components Canada manufactures photodiodes and emitters for a wide range of optoelectronic applications. The photodetector range consists of p-i-n photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes and hybrid photodiode-preamplifier modules with spectral response ranges between 200nm and 1700nm. These devices are available with and without integral light pipes and optical fibers.
The emitters are available with both surface and edge emitter structures covering a range of emission wavelengths from 800nm to 1700nm. Single and double heterostructures as well as quantum well injection lasers are available in various package configurations with or without optical fibers.
