BPD110-FC-NIR
(Balanced Photodetector

High-sensitivity, Balanced Photodetector - Near Infrared
The BPD110 balanced photodetector from Menlo Systems functions as a balanced receiver by subtracting two optical input signals and effectively cancelling common-mode noise, allowing for the precise detection of subtle signal variations. It integrates Two carefully matched photodiodes are integrated with an ultra-lownoise, high-speed to achieve a high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and superior noise suppression. It offers an excellent signal-to-noise ratio and is adjustable gain, a 3 dB bandwidth of up to 100 MHz, and a broad wavelength range from 320 nm to 2600 nm, the BPD110 is ideal for a variety of high-precision optical applications.
