High Sensitivity at High Bandwidth

The series HCA-S-200M photoreceivers combine fast photodiodes with the proven and outstanding FEMTO HCA current amplifier technology. The HCA-S-200M is available with either a Silicon or InGaAs photodiode covering a spectral range from 320 to 1000 nm and 900 to 1700 nm, respectively. The electrical amplifier gain is 2 x 10⁴ V/A resulting in a maximum conversion gain of 1.9 x 10⁴ V/W at 1550 nm for the InGaAs model. The sophisticated DC coupled multistage amplifier design allows measurements from DC to a maximum bandwidth of 200 MHz corresponding to a minimum rise time of 1.8 ns. With a noise equivalent power (NEP) as low as 5 pW/√Hz signals with an optical power in the micro Watt range can be detected without the need for further averaging.
