Description

The BPD270MA5 is an AC-coupled high-speed dual-balanced InGaAs photoreceiver. It features a high transimpedance gain, very low noise and a -3 dB bandwidth of 270 MHz. The low frequency AC cutoff is set to >5 MHz to help suppress low frequency noise like acoustic vibrations.

The BPD270MA5 comes in a rugged aluminum case with two FC fiber receptables and a 50 ohm SMA output. It operates from a single 11-15 V DC supply. OEM versions without a case are available upon request.

Typical Applications:

  • Interferometry
  • Can be used single-ended as well
