Founded in 1985, the privately held, Marktech Optoelectronics is a well-established world-class provider of detector and emitter engineering, design, manufacturing, packaging, burn-in testing, and sorting with production facilities in the USA and Japan. Marktech’s founding members leveraged their deep knowledge of industrial markets and the technical needs of design engineers to rapidly grow and expand into many industries requiring advanced photonics devices. Today, Marktech Optoelectronics is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of UV, visible, near-infrared (NIR), and short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) emitters and photodiode detectors. The company also engineers and manufactures materials such as silicon photodetector wafers, chips, and InP epiwafers. In the infrared wavelength ranges, Marktech in partnership with Optrans is a vertically integrated manufacturer growing epitaxy InP wafers, fabricating InGaAs detector and emitter chips, packaging chips, and even producing completed assemblies for some OEM customers. Marktech has leading-edge packaging capabilities with the ability to package die in molded plastic through-hole, SMD, chip-scale, TO can, chip on board (COB), and their proprietary seam-welded hermetic ATLAS package. Marktech’s advanced packaging capabilities can produce multiple die components including designs with multi-wavelength emitters, multiple detectors for broadband detection, and emitter-detector combinations. Marktech also designs and produces silicon photodiode detectors, avalanche photodiodes (APDs), phototransistors, and photodiode arrays (PDAs) in Marktech’s silicon photodiode photodetectors are MADE in the USA in their Simi Valley, CA manufacturing plant. Marktech’s fast, high sensitivity silicon photodetectors are perfect for a wide range of sensing applications including colorimeters, currency validation, industrial sensing (proximity, edge detection, light barriers, encoders), bar code readers, fast receivers, photometers, optical test equipment, smoke detectors, optical switches, refractometers, fluorometers, and NIR spectrometers.
