Section 2. Overview:

 

 

The BPD-002-OEM is a compact, high performance, AC coupled balanced detector 
specially designed for OEM applications. It has 3 SMA connectors for the RF output and 
two power monitors. The balanced detectors, monitors, and amplifier circuits are 
packaged in a compact shielding box with metal standoffs for mounting. With a 
bandwidth of up to 400 MHz and a high conversion gain, the BPD-002-OEM is ideal for 
integration into OCT, fiber sensor and high performance optical measurement systems.
