High Speed IR Detection
This quantum cascade photodetector is the fastest mid-IR detector on the market. Bandwidth is >20 GHz with detector sensitivity at 4.65um.
It operates bias free with no cooling required, so no external power supplies are needed. Setup happens in two simple steps: connecting the SMA fitting to measuring instruments (oscilloscope etc.), and directing light incidence to the internal focusing lens.
