Abstract
A NIR spectrometry device that includes different NIR PIN diodes (NPDs) and a guard PIN diode (VLPD) that are operated in a fully depletion mode. The different NPDs are located at different lateral positions corresponding to absorption depths of different NIR wavelengths. Each NPD is configured to collect electron-hole pairs (EHPs) generated by radiation that passes through a side edge of the device at a wavelength having an absorption depth that corresponds to a lateral position of the NPD. The VLPD is located at a lateral position that corresponds to a distance from the side edge that exceeds an absorption depth of visible light. The VLPD is configured to collect EHPs generated by unwanted radiation that passed through the side edge of the NIR spectrometry device and to prevent the EHPs generated by unwanted radiation to reach any of the different NPDs.
