The BPD1GA is an AC-coupled high-speed dual-balanced InGaAs photoreceiver. Due to its high transimpedance gain, its very low noise, and its bandwidthof 1 GHz, it is ideally suited for future ultra-high speed swept-source OCT systems with depth scan line rates up to above 1 MHz.
The BPD1GA comes in a rugged aluminum case with two FC Fiber Receptables and a50 Ω coupled SMA output. It operates from a single 11-15 V DC supply.
OEM versions without a case are available upon request.
