B. A signal has been detected previously obtained, but is currently lost. 1. Try steps listed under A. 2. Inspect the active area of the photodiode for any signs of damage. 3. Test the batteries : a. Units with internal batteries will typically operate for several years, but operation with CW or high rep rate lasers can drain the batteries much faster.

VIII. Schematic: Fast Photodiode Detectors Glossary of Terms Bandwidth: The range of frequencies from 0Hz (DC) to the frequency at which the responsivity decreases by 3dB. Bandwidth and rise time can be approximately related by the equation: Bandwidth ≈ 0.35/rise time for a Gaussian pulse input. Bias Voltage: The photodiode’s junction capacitance can be modified by applying a reverse voltage.

Responsivity: In amps per watt (A/W), responsivity is the current output of the photodiode for a given input power, and is determined by the diode structure. Responsivity varies with wavelength and diode material. Responsivity (Irradiance): In V per W/cm is the voltage output as a function of the light input irradiance.
