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.
