Amplified, large-area (7 mm2) Si photodiode with fast response. The detector employs a high bandwidth op amp with excellent long-term stability and low 1/f noise. Three user-selectable gain settings with 1% relative accuracy allow for > 90 dB dynamic range. An ultra-low noise voltage regulator fed by a USB rechargeable, Lithium polymer battery reverse biases the diode and powers the amplifier. The unit is packaged in a standard lens tube with 1.035"-40 threads for convenient mechanical integration.
