Amplified Photodetector (PDA)

The MOGLabs PDA030 in an amplified silicon photodetector designed for Pound-Drever Hall optical cavity locking.
It provides high bandwidth, high quantum efficiency and low noise in a convenient mechanical enclosure with standard connectors.
The 50 Ω impedance signal is provided via an isolated BNC connector that helps eliminate ground loops.
Power, for example from the MOGLabs FSC fast servo controller, is easily provided via Thorlabs-compatible M8 connector and standard industry M8 sensor cable.
Optical tubes, filters and lenses are easily mounted using the standard SM1 threaded ring.
Features
- Internal transimpedance amplifier 7.5 kV/A
- High bandwidth DC to 30 MHz (Si)
- Low noise NEP 2 pW/√Hz at 1 MHz
- Wide spectral response 300 – 1060 nm
- High quantum efficiency 0.64 at 900 nm
- Isolated BNC connector to avoid ground loops
- Standard M8 power connector ±7 to ±15 v
- SM1 (1.035”-40) internal thread optical tube mount
