Newport offers a complete line of Fiber-Optic High-Speed Photodetector and Receiver modules to meet most measurement needs. These high-speed detectors find a wide variety of uses in the test and measurement of fast optical signals.
Both amplified and unamplified models are available in compact, rugged, instrument-style cases. Each unit houses a sealed, fiber-coupled detector module together with internally regulated power, current monitor, power indicating LED’s and a convenient, top-mounted power switch. Unamplified models offer internal battery power for the utmost ease of use, and all models come with the FC fiber optic input connector.
These photodetectors and receivers are specifically designed to fulfill the variety of photonics testing and measurement applications including telecommunication, data communication, analog microwave communication, as well as general high-speed research from 300 ps temporal resolution (1.5 GHz) to 7 picoseconds (60 GHz). VIS-ir (400-1700 nm) products for broad measurement interests are available as well as a full range of IR (950-1650 nm) and XR (700-1650 nm) products optimized for communications applications.
These products can also be used for free-space applications, by simply using the open end of a fiber-optic patch cord as the point of light collection. 50 µm and 62.5 µm core fibers offer collection numerical apertures of ...

These products can also be used for free-space applications, by simply using the open end of a fiber-optic patch cord as the point of light collection. 50 µm and 62.5 µm core fibers offer collection numerical apertures of 0.2 and 0.3 in a very flexible, compact form that can easily be positioned inside any experimental setup.
Newport offers limited 30-day warranty due to their extreme sensitivity to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
