description:

The small board with soldered PD IC can be mounted into home-built AFM or SNOM set-up's. The sensitivity is optimized for 2 mW lasers at 670 nm wave length. It can be changed in dependence on the costumers requirements. The housing of the PD is on ground potential. We provide the blank board with 4 mm laboratoy connectors for the power supply and with BNC connectors for the signals. As the application can need different band width or smaller noise, we make costumer specific boards. The full data sheet is provided.

There are two types::

PD 1 PD 2
PD shape 1 pd shape 2

T = Top, B = Buttom, L = Left and R = Right, or TL = Top-Left.
