Fast Photodiode Detector Overview 

Ophir’s  Fast  Photodiode  Detectors  contain  PIN 

photodiodes 

that  utilize  the  photovoltaic  effect  to 

convert optical power into an electrical current for measurement. Internal circuitry provides a reverse 
bias  voltage  to  improve  the  photodiode’s  response  time.  For  optimal  performance,  the  output 
should  be  connected  to a  50Ω  load resistance.  Figure  1  below  identifies  the  main  elements  of  your 
Fast Photodiode Detector.

When terminated into the 50Ω input of an oscilloscope, the pulse width of a laser can be measured. When 
terminated into a spectrum analyzer, the frequency response of a laser can be measured.
