    D400FC InGaAs Fiber Optic Photo Detector


    DESCRIPTION
    Thorlabs DC400FC is a ready-to-use very high-speed photo detector. The unit comes complete
    with an FC bulkhead connector / Detector and an internal 12V bias battery enclosed in a
    ruggedized insulated housing. A FC type fiber optic bulkhead connector provides easy coupling to
    fiber based light sources. The output uses a SMA style jack for maximum frequency response.

    OPERATION
    Thorlabs D400FC is ideal for measuring
    both pulsed and CW light sources. The unit
    includes a reverse biased PIN photo diode,
    12V bias battery, ON/OFF switch, and a FC
    bulkhead connector, all packaged in a
    ruggedized housing. The SMA output signal
    is the direct photocurrent out of the photo
    diode anode and is a function of the incident
    light
    power
    and
    wavelength.
    The
    Responsivity, (), can be read from Figure
    1 to estimate the amount of photocurrent to

    expect. Most users will wish to convert this


    photocurrent to a voltage for viewing on an
    oscilloscope or DVM. This is accomplished
    by adding an external load resistance, RLOAD.
    The output voltage is derived as:
    VO = P*()*RLOAD.
    The bandwidth, fBW , and the rise-time
    response, TR, are determined from the diode
    capacitance, CJ, and the load resistance,
    RLOAD:

    fBW = 1/(2*RLOAD*CJ), TR = 0.35/fBW


    For maximum bandwidth, we recommend
    using a direct connection to the
    measurement device having a 50 input
    impedance. If this is not possible, an SMA SMA cable with a 50 terminating resistor at
    the end can be used. This will also minimize
    ringing by matching the coax with its
    characteristic impedance. If bandwidth is not
    important, you can increase the amount of
    voltage for a given input light by increasing
    the RLOAD up to a maximum or 10k

    fiber pigtailed InGaAs detectors (FGA03,
    FGA10)
    Note: The detector has an AC path to
    ground even with the switch in the off
    position. It is normal to see some output
    response to an AC signal with the switch
    in this state. However, because the
    detector is unbiased, operation in this
    mode is not recommended.
