80 MHz Balanced Optical Receivers
80 MHz Balanced Optical Receivers
The 80 MHz Large Area Adjustable Gain Balanced Photoreceivers are effective in reducing common-mode noise so that you can see your small signal. With a well-balanced combination of gain, bandwidth, and low noise, these photoreceivers are extremely flexible and are ideal for coherent heterodyne-detection applications including doppler LIDAR and optical coherence tomography.
- Reduces common-mode noise by 25 dB
- High gain with low noise
- Visible and near-IR versions See All Features

Ideal for Balanced Photodetection
Newport's balanced optical receivers are ideal for optical detection applications that require sensitive measurements and increased signal-to-noise. Balanced photodetection is a method that can very effectively cancel common mode noise and detect small signal fluctuations on a large DC signal. Detection methods in the time domain (such as femtosecond ultrasonics and frequency modulation spectroscopy) and frequency domain (like absorption spectroscopy), and coherent heterodyne detection (such as optical coherence tomography) can be substantially improved by using Newport balanced photoreceivers and can allow detection of signals not otherwise possible with other means. For more information, please see our application note A Survey of Methods Using Balanced Photodetection.
