Model 2101 has no status light. Output Signal The output of the Models 2101 and 2103 is an analog voltage with a gain of 50 mV per dB of input light. For Model 2101, a 3.5-V output corresponds to approximately 2 dBm of input power at 920 nm;...

Measurement Speed The Models 2101 and 2103 have three filter settings (1, 5, and 25 kHz) to reduce noise when speed of response is not critical. The fastest setting results in a 0-100% small signal rise time of 30 µs and an analog bandwidth in excess of 25 kHz.

Noise Levels The electrical noise voltage present at the output divided by the gain (50 mV/dB) of the power sensor represents the noise referred to the input. A plot of this is shown in Figure 4 for the 25-kHz filter setting. Note the discontinuity at the crossover.
