Hillsboro, Oregon, September 8, 2010 – Hinds Instruments announces the release of a new generation photodiode detector family, the DET-200 series. Used in labs worldwide, Hinds’ detection systems are specifically designed for use with optical signals from DC to 1MHz over a spectral range of 200 to 1600 nm.
DET-200 technology represents a significant improvement in performance compared to the previous generation DET-100 detectors. DET-200 series detectors offer adjustable gain while maintaining a constant offset of 5mV or less throughout all gain settings. This is a significant benefit in many applications. In addition, the size has been reduced by over half to 2” x 2” x 1” (50mm x 50mm x 25mm). The DET-200 will drive a hi Z load from 0-10V and a 50Ω load from 0-5V.
The DET-200 comes standard with a 15V power supply. Optional standoffs for mounting precision polarizers are available.
U.S. prices start at U.S. $349.00.
Hinds Instruments, Inc. develops and manufactures photoelastic modulator-based systems and components that utilize the high sensitivity of PEM polarization analysis technology.
