ActLight, the Swiss technology firm known for its best-in-class 
signal-to-noise ratio photodiodes, announced today the expantion of its IP 
portfolio with the launch of the innovative Stand-Alone Dynamic Photodiode.  


    In addition to the superior signal-to-noise performance, the Stand-Alone 
Dynamic Photodiode benefits from a unique and patented device structure 
requiring a very simple, low cost manufacturing process. Moreover, it offers 
flexibility in terms of device size, making the Stand-Alone Dynamic Photodiode 
the ideal light sensor solution for markets looking for a high-performance 
discrete photodiode. 


    Customers can choose the size of the detector from a wide range, e.g. from 
0.2 square millimeter to 1 square centimeter, to match with their needs in 
applications such as proximity sensing, light barriers, time of flight, vital 
signs monitoring and many others in the Industrial, Healthcare, Automotive and 
Consumer Electronic markets.


    "We are very pleased to offer to our customers additional innovative IP in 
the field of light sensing," said Serguei Okhonin, Co-founder and CEO at
