  • Page 4: Chapter 2 Description

    The PDA10D2 is an amplified, Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) detector designed for detection of light ranging from 900 to 2600 nm. A buffered output drives 50 Ω load impedances up to 5 V. The PDA10D2 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.
