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 141X and 144X are high-speed InGaAs photodetector
modules for detection of light of wavelengths 950 to 1650 nm. The
143X and 145X are high-speed InGaAs photodetector modules for
detection of light of wavelengths 400 to 1650 nm. All the models
are 50-
Ω
terminated. 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.
