Our 125 MHz optical receivers offer a well-balanced combination of gain, bandwidth, and low noise over the DC–125-MHz frequency range. Because of their high transimpedance gain and low noise-equivalent power (NEP), they offer the best in sensitivity for signals with rise and fall times as short as 3 ns. This high sensitivity, combined with their high-level output, reduces the effects of downstream noise sources. They have been engineered to eliminate most common sources of noise and drift, and have enough gain to pick up even very weak signals making them ideal free space optical front ends for systems requiring a low-noise input.

Features
Silicon or InGaAs Versions
Silicon models provide visible wavelength coverage from 320-1000 nm and use a silicon-PIN photodiode with a high-gain, low-noise transimpedance amplifier. The near-IR version uses an InGaAs-PIN photodetector that provides coverage from 900-1700 nm. These receivers will enable wide bandwidth low-noise detection of signals distributed over fiber-optic cables or found in high resolution spectroscopy, fiber-optic sensors, optical metrology and many other applications.

DC Coupled Versions
With true DC coupling, these photoreceivers give linear responses to transient signals without artificial ringing, tails, or other anomalies. For applications where you need to measure both the AC modulation and the DC component, choose the DC coupled receiver.
AC Coupled Versions
AC-coupled versions with a low-frequency roll-off at 25 kHz are available. These photoreceivers are useful for measuring AC signal with a higher resolution, even when you have a large DC component, than the DC version. To make alignment easier, AC-coupled versions are equipped with an additional DC photocurrent monitor output. The monitor output has a 50-kHz bandwidth and a gain of 1 V/mA.
RF Shielding
Careful RF shielding and filtering of power-supply inputs eliminate electromagnetic interference, even in laboratories with Q-switched lasers and other noisy equipment.
