Optical Receiver, AC coupled, 1000-1600 nm Biased InGaAs Detector, 1.5 GHz

The 818-BB-30A InGaAs Optical Receiver consists of a free-space 1000 to 1600 nm biased InGaAs photodetector with a 0.10 mm active diameter and a 400 ps rise time. It has a built-in amplifier with approximately 26 dB of gain. It is excellent for viewing rapid modulation of low-power CW lasers or other light sources in the μW regime. The detector is AC coupled and features a bandwidth of up to 1.5 GHz. A wall plug-in style power supply is provided with this unit. 818-BB Series Biased Photodiode Detectors are cost effective diagnostic tools suitable for a variety of high speed applications such as viewing of Q-switched, mode-locked, or rapidly modulated laser signals and picosecond laser alignment. It is equivalent to Coherent's Model ET-3000A (P/N 120-10036-0001).

NOTE-These detectors are very susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please use ESD protective measures, like the FK-STRAP, when unpacking and handling these devices.
