Photodiode Modules

P-CUBE photodiode modules from Laser Components (Hudson, NH) enable precise measurements in a compact measurement setup. Low-noise, sensitive PIN photodiodes are housed in cubes that have an edge length of only 40mm. To integrate them into optomechanical setups, the cubes can be attached to a rod system. The following versions are available: GaP photodiode (190-570nm), Si photodiode (200- 1050nm), InGaAs PIN photodiode (800-2200nm). The programmable iAMP-700 current amplifier is directly connected to the P-CUBE with a BNC connector. The P-CUBE is also available with an optical FC connector. It is possible to achieve amplifications of 102-1011 V/A with the iAMP-700. By combining the P-CUBE and iAMP-700, the smallest amount of light can be detected reliably. The P-CUBEs require a bias voltage between -10 V and +10 V, obtainable directly from the iAMP
