InGaAs Biased Detector Chapter 2: Description

Chapter 2 Description

The DET01CFC is a ready-to-use, high-speed InGaAs photodetector for use with
FC/PC connectorized fiber optic cables in NIR optical systems. The unit comes
with an FC/PC bulkhead connector, detector, and 12 V bias battery enclosed in a
compact aluminum housing. The FC/PC connector provides easy coupling to
fiber-based light sources. The output uses an SMA jack to minimize size and
maximize frequency response. The maximum bandwidth is 1.2 GHz and the
detector will operate over the 800-1700 nm spectral range. A visible version, the
DET02AFC, is also available and operates in the 400-1100 nm spectral range.
ESD Caution
The components inside this instrument are ESD sensitive. Take all
appropriate precautions to discharge personnel and equipment before
making any electrical connections to the unit.
