PbSe Detector Chapter 2: Description Chapter 2 Description Thorlabs’ FDPSE2X2 photoconductor is a Lead Selenide Detector (PbSe), which is ideal for measuring both pulse and chopped infrared light sources. The photoconductor is housed conveniently in a TO-5 package, offering easy integration into existing setups and/or systems.
3.2. Frequency Response Photoconductors must be used with a pulsed signal to obtain AC signals. An optical chopper, such as Thorlabs’ MC2000, is recommended for use with CW light. The detector responsivity (R ) when using a chopper can be calculated...
PbSe Detector Chapter 3: Operation The characteristic curve for Signal vs. Chopping Frequency for this particular detector is provided in Chapter 4. 3.4. Temperature Considerations These detectors consist of a thin film on a glass substrate. The effective shape and active area of the photoconductive surface varies considerably based upon the operating conditions, thus changing performance characteristics.
PbSe Detector Chapter 3: Operation Cooling the device will increase the dark resistance. Chapter 4 provides a Dark Resistance vs. Temperature characteristic graph for the particular detector. 3.8. Detectivity (D) and D Detectivity (D) is another criteria used to evaluate the performance of the photodetector.
