The statement for other products will appear in the accompanying documentation. Inputs and outputs must only be connected with shielded connection cables. Only with written consent from Thorlabs may changes to single components be carried out or components not supplied by Thorlabs be used. -
Page 4: Chapter 2 Description
The LDS12B± 12 VDC power supply is included with each amplified photodetector, and a switch on the power supply can be toggled to select the appropriate input voltage (100, 120, or 230 VAC ). The PDA015C2 detector housing includes a removable threaded coupler (SM1T1) and retaining ring (SM1RR) that are compatible with any of Thorlabs’... -

8. The maximum output of the PDA015C2 detector is 10 V for high impedance loads and 5 V for 50 Ω loads. The output signal should be below the maximum output voltage to avoid saturation. If necessary, use external neutral density filters to reduce the input light level. - Page 6 Chapter 3: Setup Guide Caution! The PDA015C2 detector was designed to allow maximum accessibility to the photodetector by having the front surface of the PD TO-can nearly flush with the outside of the PDA housing. When using fiber adapters, make sure that the fiber ferrule does not crash into the TO-can window. Failure to do so may cause damage to the TO-can window and/or the fiber.

1 nA up to many μA. In the case of the PDA015C2 detector, in most cases the dark current is small enough to ignore (<3 nA). - Page 8 CG are the same. For a 50 Ω external load, the actual CG is a factor of two smaller than the CG. It is for this reason that the maximum output of the PDA015C2 detector is 10 V for high impedance loads and 5 V for 50 Ω...
