These balanced amplified photodetectors are designed specifically for OCT applications. They act as a balanced receiver by subtracting the two optical input signals from each other, resulting in the cancellation of common mode noise. This allows small changes in the signal path to be extracted from the interfering noise floor.

The detectors consist of two balanced photodiodes and an ultra-low-noise, high-speed transimpedance amplifier. The two photodiodes are matched to achieve an excellent common mode rejection ratio (CMRR), leading to better noise reduction. Please see the Operation tab for more details. All of these detectors incorporate three female SMA electrical ports for reduced noise. In addition to the RF-output from the transimpedance amplifier, the Monitor+ and Monitor- ports allow the response of each photodiode to be observed individually.

Bandwidths of DC - 200 MHz or Lower
Detectors with bandwidths of DC - 200 MHz or lower are available with either Si photodiodes for the 320 - 1000 nm range or InGaAs photodiodes for the 800 - 1700 nm range. Choose from four bandwidths: DC - 15 MHz, DC - 75 MHz, DC - 100 MHz, or DC - 200 MHz. The inputs on these detectors are not fiber coupled to the photodiodes. Detectors with bandwidths of DC - 100 MHz or lower come with two removable FC input connectors, making them suitable for either free space or fiber applications. The DC - 200 MHz bandwidth detectors also have FC/PC connectors at the inputs, but they cannot be removed.

Bandwidths of DC - 400 MHz or Higher
Detectors with bandwidths of DC - 400 MHz or higher feature fiber-coupled InGaAs photodiodes connected to FC/APC optical inputs with exactly length-matched SMF-28e+ or HI1060 fiber to achieve excellent CMRR values across the full detector bandwidth. The fiber-coupled design suppresses line artifacts in the OCT image, which generally occur when detector coupling optics are used. The combination of fiber and photodiodes was chosen to optimize these detectors for either 1060 nm (900 - 1400 nm range) or 1300 nm (1200 - 1700 nm range).

Our highest bandwidth detectors are offered in an AC-coupled version only. The PDB480C-AC, PDB481C-AC, and PDB482C-AC balanced detectors offer bandwidths up to 2.5 GHz, leading to considerable speed improvements. The ultra-low-distortion output stage supports up to a 2 Vp-p A/D card input range, which, combined with the fiber-coupled design, improves the image quality for OCT applications considerably.

Packaging/Power Supply
Housed in a shielded aluminum enclosure measuring 85 mm x 80 mm x 30 mm, these detectors are post mountable using the included adapter plate, which can be attached to the bottom or side of the housing with the included M2 screws. A ±12 V linear power supply that supports input voltages of 100, 120, and 230 VAC is included with each amplified photodetector. Replacement power supplies are available separately below.

A complete list of all of Thorlabs' balanced amplified photodetectors with fast monitor output can be found here. Alternatively, we also offer an APD-based auto-balanced detector with an exceptionally low noise floor suitable for OCT applications with low signal in the sample arm. Thorlabs also offers Fiber-Based Interferometers, which feature an integrated balanced detector.

Note:
For the PDB480C-AC, PDB481C-AC, and PDB482C-AC detectors the RF output signal must not exceed the RF Output Power at 1 dB Compression, which is the point at which the amplified signal at 1 GHz is compressed by 1 dB. Above this value, the amplified signal will become non-linear and begin to saturate. The RF output voltage at this saturation point can be calculated using the following formula:

where R is the load impedance (50 Ω), P0 is defined as 1 mW, and L(dBm) is the power level in dBm. Using the specified RF Output Power at 1 dB Compression of 16.5 dBm, this yields the following "maximum" output voltage:

Operation of Balanced Detectors with Bandwidths up to 400 MHz

Thorlabs' Balanced Amplified Photodetectors consist of two well-matched photodiodes and an ultra-low noise, high-speed transimpedance amplifier (TIA) that generates an output voltage (RF OUTPUT) proportional to the difference between the photocurrents in the two photodiodes (i.e., the two optical input signals). Additionally, the unit has two fast monitor outputs (MONITOR+ and MONITOR-) to observe the optical input power levels on each photodiode separately. These outputs are low frequency outputs and cannot be used to measure an RF modulation on the signal. The block diagram applies to our balanced detectors with bandwidths up to 400 MHz.

Balanced receiver

Operation of the PDB480C-AC, PDB481C-AC, and PDB482C-AC Balanced Detectors

The PDB48xC-AC Balanced Amplified Photodetectors use the same basic operating principles as described above and have the following additional features. The TIA's ultra-low distortion output stage supports up to a 2 Vp-p A/D card input range. The two fast monitor outputs can be used to measure not only the individual optical input power levels, but also low frequency modulated signals up to 3 MHz (Item #s PDB480C-AC and PDB481C-AC) or 2.5 MHz (Item # PDB482C-AC). To enable the much higher frequency of these detectors, the photodiodes are connected to the inputs with length-matched fibers, only AC-coupled versions are offered, and capacitors are added to the circuit (as shown below).

Hello What is the reason for the different frequency responses of the PDB480C-AC (1.6 GHz) and the PDB481C-AC (1.0 GHz). Would there be big problems when using the PDB480C-AC with 1060 nm light (coupling losses, mode-dispersion, etc.)? Regards, Sebastian
tschalk  (posted 2013-09-26 06:29:00.0)
This is a response from Thomas at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. The bandwidth of the respective detector is defined by the pigtailed diodes built in. Those are designed for a specific wavelength, both because of the fiber used as pigtail as well as for the diode itself. The diode used in the PDB481-AC can unfortunately operate in a stable regime only up to 1GHz. While it would be in principle be possible to use the PDB480C-AC at 1060nm, the diode being not optimized for this wavelength would induce higher losses. The modal dispersion in this case should be negligible considering the short length of the pigtails. I will contact you directly with more detailed information.
