2.7 to 5.3 µm. A buffered output drives 50 Ω load impedances up to 5 V. The PDA07P2 housing includes a removable threaded coupler (SM1T1) and retaining ring (SM1RR) that is compatible with any number of Thorlabs’...
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.
Chapter 4 Operation 4.1. Theory of Operation Thorlabs’ PDA series of detectors are ideal for measuring both pulsed and CW light sources. The PDA07P2 includes a reverse-biased PIN photo diode, mated to a fixed gain transimpedance amplifier, and is packaged in a rugged housing.
4.5. Terminating Resistance The maximum output of the PDA07P2 is 10 V for high impedance loads (i.e., > 5 kΩ) and 5 V for 50 Ω loads. Ensure the signal level is below 10 V to avoid Load saturation.
InAsSb 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 PDA07P2 has a 50 Ω series terminator resistor (i.e., in series with the amplifier output). This forms a voltage divider with any load impedance (e.g., 50 Ω load divides signal in half).
