APD Modules: A-Cube Series
1 / 8Pages

A-CUBE-Series High Sensitivity APD Detector Modules Description Laser Components’ new A-CUBE range of APD modules has been designed for customers interested in experimenting with APDs. Featuring a low-noise silicon (or InGaAs) APD with matched preamplifier and integrated high voltage supply, the module offers everything needed to operate APDs easily and conveniently. In-built temperature compensation circuitry allows the APD to be operated at constant gain even if the ambient temperature changes. A ±12 V DC supply is all that is needed to operate the module. The optional FC connector provides a convenient method for connecting the detector to the sample using an optical fiber. Custom designed modules and OEM versions are available on request.

High Sensitivity APD Detector Modules Technical Specifications for 1.5 mm A-CUBE (typical values @ M = 100, 25°C) Note: Noise measured at 1 00 kHz. A-CUBE3000-01 and A-CUBE3000-03 will saturate with high background light levels due to their very high sensitivity. Operation in environments with high background levels (e.g. daylight) is therefore not recommended. * Custom versions up to 240 AAHz are available on reguest.
