Figure 2 Basic DET Circuit
The DET Series Detectors are designed according the circuit depicted above.
The detector is reverse biased to produce a linear response with applied input
light. The photocurrent generated is based upon the incident light and
wavelength and can be viewed on the oscilloscope by attaching a load resistance
on the output. The function of the RC Filter is to filter any high frequency noise
from the input supply which may contribute to a noisy output.
