    · Connect the power supply 3-pin plug into the mating receptacle on the PDA20C. · Plug the power supply into a outlet · Attach a 50 W coaxial cable (i.e. RG-58U) to the output of the PDA20C. When running cable lengths longer than 12” we recommend terminating the opposite end of the coax with a 50 W resistor (Thorlabs p/n T4119) for maximum performance.

    (l) for a given wavelength can be read from the spectral respons- ivity curve (see Appendix The maximum output of the PDA20C is 10 V for high impedance loads and 3.5 V for 50 W loads. The output signal should be below the maximum output voltage to avoid saturation. If ne- cessary, use external neutral density filters to reduce the input light level.
