HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
The detector is sensitive to electrostatic discharges and could be
permanently damaged if subjected even to small discharges. Prior
to handling, or making connections, be sure to ground yourself
adequately. A ground strap provides the most effective grounding
and minimizes the likelihood of electrostatic discharge.
Do not over-torque the microwave K-connector. Excessive torque
can damage connectors.
Make sure the optical connector is clean and undamaged before
connecting to the detector module.
QUICK START
The Models 101X and 102X are high-speed InGaAs photodetector
modules for detection of light of wavelengths 950 to 1650 nm. The
Models 100X are GaAs photodetector modules for detection of
light of wavelengths 400 to 900 nm. All are 50-
Ω
terminated,
except the 1001 and 1004 which have 100-
Ω
terminations. An
internal battery and bias circuitry make the modules self-contained
so that no additional power supplies or bias circuitry are needed.
To operate the modules, follow these instructions:
1.
Take proper precautions to avoid electrostatic damage to
the photodiode.
(See the Handling Precautions above.)
2. Remove module from its case.
3. Turn on power using the “Off/On” switch.
