P-CUBE-SeriesHigh Sensitivity PIN Detector Modules
Description
The P-CUBE-series manufactured by LASER COMPONENTS has been
designed for customers interested in experimenting with low noise silicon orInGaAs pin detectors.
Integrated in a small package the P-CUBE-series could be assembled in toan optical set up very easy. In combination with our low-noise, programmable current amplifier iAMP-700 the pin modules are suitable for applications
where a transformation from small signals into manageable output voltages
are required.
The optional FC connector provides a convenient method for connecting thedetector to the sample using an optical fiber.
Custom designed modules and OEM versions are available on request.
