Silicon O/E Converter (30 kHz to 800 MHz) with ST Connection
The TIA-952 Optical to Electrical Converter is a convenient fiber optic detector/amplifier combination that mounts directly on the input of an oscilloscope, digitizer, or other readout device. With a bandwidth of 800 MHz, it accurately provides an electrical replica of the optical signal presented to it. It is fully capable of driving a 50 ohm cable terminated in its characteristic load.
The InGaAs version of the TIA-952 has a transimpedance of 500 Ω plus a post amplifier with selectable gains of 1 or 5. Thus the overall responsivity ranges from approximately 450 V/W to 2250 V/W at the peak of the detector response curve and when terminated in a 50 ohm load.
The Silicon version of the TIA-952 has a transimpedance of 250 Ω plus a post amplifier with selectable gains of 1 or 5. Thus the overall responsivity ranges from approximately 225 V/W to 1125V/W at the peak of the detector response curve and when terminated in a 50 ohm load.
The unit is powered by a universal wall mount power supply. The supply accepts mains voltages from 95 to 260 V.A.C., 47-60 Hz. Four mains plugs are provided that are compatible with standards used in North America, Great Britain, Continental Europe and Australia.
