Photodiode Amplifier

This amplifier unit is a low noise, high gain, transimpedance amplifier that is designed to provide a direct digital readout of the current generated from a photodiode, photomultiplier, or similar current source. If a reading in Watts is desired, simply toggle the A/W setting. By adjusting the A/W setting on the amplifier to equal detector responsivity, the amplifier can measure the incident optical power. For detectors that require a reverse bias, the unit can apply a selectable bias in series with the photodetector.
