Fiber-Optic Detector, 830-2150 nm Battery Biased Extended InGaAs, 12.5 GHz, FC/UPC

The 818-BB-51F High Speed Battery Biased Fiber-Optic Detector features an extended InGaAs photodiode with a 40 um active diameter and a <28 ps rise time coupled to a Corning singlemode SMF-28e fiber with an FC/UPC connector. With the wavelength range of 830-2150 nm, it allows monitoring Thulium (Tm) and Holmium (Ho) doped lasers as well as other NIR lasers. It includes a built-in battery-powered 3V bias, an on-off switch and an SMA connector output. The batteries are easily replaceable and by disconnecting the detector from the oscilloscope input, when not in use, you can extend the lifetime of the batteries. It replaces the obsolete Model 818-BB-50.

NOTE-These detectors are very susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please use ESD protective measures, like the FK-STRAP, when unpacking and handling these devices.
