Page 4: Chapter 2 Description
The PDA05CF2 is an amplified, Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) detector designed for detection of light signals ranging from 800 to 1700 nm. A buffered output drives 50 Ω load impedances up to 5 V. The PDA05CF2 housing includes a removable threaded coupler (SM1T1) and retainer ring (SM1RR) that is compatible with any number of Thorlabs 1”... -
Page 5: Chapter 3 Setup
Attach a 50 Ω coax cable (i.e. RG-58U) to the output of the PDA. When running cable lengths longer than 12" we recommend terminating the opposite end of the coax with a 50 Ω resistor (Thorlabs p/n T4119) for maximum performance. Connect the remaining end to a measurement device such as an oscilloscope or high speed DAQ card. -

> 5 kΩ) and 5 V for 50 Ω loads. Adjust the gain so that the measured signal Load level out of the PDA05CF2 is below 10 V (5 V with a 50 Ω load) to avoid saturation. For low terminating resistors, <5 kΩ or 1% error, an additional factor needs to be considered. -
Page 8: Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
InGaAs Amplified Fixed Gain Detector Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Chapter 5 Troubleshooting Problem Suggested Solutions Verify that the power is switched on and all connections are secure. Verify the proper terminating resistor is installed if using a Voltage measurement device. There is no signal response. Verify that the optical signal wavelength is within the specified wavelength range. -

Output Voltage 0 to 10 V (Hi-Z) The PDA05CF2 has a 50 Ω series terminator resistor (i.e. in series with amplifier output). This forms a voltage divider with any load impedance (e.g. 50 Ω load divides signal in half).
