Ultra-fast 20GHz IR Detector

Item Description

This is a ultrafast mid-infrared photodetector with a response bandwidth of 20 GHz (-3 dB). It operates bias free with no cooling required, so no external power supplies are needed. Setup happens in two simple steps: connecting the SMA fitting to measuring instruments (oscilloscope etc.), and directing light incidence to the internal focusing lens. 

Features

• Ultra-fast MIR photodetector with over 20 GHz response
• Response frequency range (-3 dB): DC to 20 GHz
• Peak sensitive wavelength: 4.65 µm
• Photosensitivity: 1 mA/W (Typ.)
• No cooling, and no operation bias are required

The module is a user‑friendly device, thus can be easily used in a variety of applications including heterodyne detection and high frequency/high time resolved measurement.
