Excitement Is Not Measureable. Light Is. Menlo Systems, a leading developer and global supplier of instrumentation for high-precision metrology, was founded 2001 as spin-off of the Max- Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics. Known for the Nobel-Prize-winning Optical Frequency Comb technology, the Munich based company offers complete solutions based on ultrafast lasers, synchronization electronics and THz systems for applications in industry and research.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS You should make sure that electrical equipment used for work is safe. Here is a list of actions that should be taken: Do not use wet hands when turning on electrical equipment. Check that the electrical equipment is suitable for the work and way in which it is going to be used.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW CONTENTS Your photo detector case contains the following items: Item Description FPD photodetector Photodetector FPD610 Adapter Adapter for imperial threads (Internal 8-32 threads and external M4 x 0.7 threaded stud) Post 40 mm post with M4 setscrew and M6 tap Power Supply Low noise power supply (Voltage +5V, -12V, GND) Power Cord...
CONNECTORS AND CONTROLS The detector itself has two connectors on the opposite side of the optical input: RF Ouput: SMA female connector Supply: multi-contacts Fischer receptacle Connect the RF Output to a 50 Ω coupled measurement tool (e.g. oscilloscope, RF spectrum analyzer,…) via SMA cable.
2.3.1 RESPONSE CURVE The response curve for all models of the FPD series is shown below. 2.3.2 FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS The frequency characteristics for a sub 250 fs pulse with an optical power of 200 nW at 1560 nm and a reprate of 50 MHz are shown in the graph below.
2.3.3 TIME CHARACTERISTICS AND RISE TIME The time characteristics of the photodetector is shown in the graph below. The rise time of the photodetector is defined as the time for the signal to rise from 10% up to 90% of the maximum value.
TECHNICAL DRAWINGS Free space versions (FPD610-FS-VIS, FPD610-FS-NIR): Fiber coupled version (FPD610-FC-NIR): Fiber coupled version (FPD610-FC-VIS): Dimensional unit is millimeter [mm].

Connection panel of the detector: Dimensional unit is millimeter [mm]. Four pole male connector on detector. The dimensions of the power supply are 105x66x36 mm with a 1.5 m long cable in between the photodetector and the power supply.
INSTALLATION / OPERATION Note: To prevent humidity condensation when the detector was stored or shipped at low temperatures, let the system packed for warm-up to room temperature. The detector should always be mounted and secured for best operation. Unpack the detector unit. The mounting threat is metric (M4 x 0.7). For your convenience an imperial adapter is included, if necessary.
FC/APC fiber connector may only be cleaned using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. If you suspect a problem with your photo detector, please contact Menlo Systems’s technical support (service@menlosystems.com). They will be happy to assist you. For service requests, please make sure to provide the serial number of your device.
