The PDAPC1
has a 50 Ω series terminator resistor (i.e. in series with amplifier output). This
forms a voltage divider with any load impedance (e.g. 50 Ω load divides signal in half).
3
Tested at 650 nm wavelength. For NIR wavelengths, the rise time of the photodiode element will
become slower which may limit the effective bandwidth of the amplified detector.
