Product Description
Low-Noise Balanced Photodetector for Optical Signal Detection
Designed for optical communication experiments, laser signal detection, and fast optical pulse measurements, this balanced photodetector provides low-noise differential detection through an SMA interface.
Two detector versions are available: Silicon (Si) for 400–1100 nm and InGaAs for 800–1700 nm, covering visible, near-infrared, and common optical communication wavelength ranges.
With a high gain of up to 103 dB, the detector is suitable for laboratory experiments, optical research, DIY photonics projects, and experimental system development where sensitive optical signal detection is required.

Built for Optical Experiments
From laser signal detection and optical communication experiments to fast pulse measurements and custom photonics projects, this balanced photodetector provides a compact and versatile platform for research, development, DIY experimentation, and educational optical systems.
Note: The stated 103 dB figure should be verified against the manufacturer's specification to clarify whether it refers to electrical gain, transimpedance gain, or another gain parameter. Bandwidth, responsivity, saturation power, and noise-equivalent power should also be confirmed before publishing detailed performance claims.
