Hinds' detection systems are specifically designed for use with high frequency optical signals including those generated in Photoelastic Modulator (PEM) applications.  


Hinds detector features include:  

  • Frequency Response. DC up to 1 MHz. 
  • Dark-current and/or Background DC Null.
  • Preamplification for Current to Voltage Conversion and Buffering for Impedance Matching to Signal Cables.
  • Power Supply included

PEM-based optical systems require detectors with frequency response of at least twice the operating frequency of the PEM. This makes Hinds detection systems ideal for your PEM applications.

For many applications, separate lowpass or DC signals and wide-band AC signals derived from the detector output are required.  With the help of the Signal Conditioning Unit , this is possible.
