APD-100
PRODUCT BULLETIN

Hinds’ detection systems are specically designed for use with

high frequency optical signals including those generated in

APD DETECTOR MODULE

Photoelastic Modulator (PEM) applications.

Features
Power, bipolar, ± 12 volts

HINDS’ DETECTOR FEATURES INCLUDE:

Operating Temperature Range, -10° to 50° C

Frequency response. DC to several times the PEM operating

High sensitivity, large active area (19.6 mm2) Si APD

frequency.

Detects optical signals from xed DC light to 450 kHz

Dark-current and/or background DC null.

Easy access potentiometer allows user gain adjustment for

Preamplication for current to voltage conversion and

varying light intensity and to zero offset voltage

buffering for impedance matching to signal cables.

Choice of side or back mounting holes for mounting

Separate lowpass or DC signals and wide-band AC signals

Compact, self-contained, and lightweight

derived from the detector output.

Power supply and post mount included
These detectors are supplied in rectangular housings 4” x 3” x
1.4”, with 2 ¼-20 tapped holes for post mounting.
