The DH_IGA-EX-3_TE indium gallium arsenide photodiode extends the high responsivity and excellent performance of the DH_IGA InGaAs further into the infrared to 2500nm.
Housing a 3mm diameter active area extended InGaAs photodiode (900-2550nm), the DH_IGA is operated in the photovoltaic mode. Using an optically chopped input, the signal generated by this detector is best measured in using the 477 trans-impedance pre-amplifier followed by the 496 DSP lock-in amplifier.
The mounting flange supplied with the DH_IGA-EX-3_TE is compatible with the entire range of Bentham monochromators and accessories. A quick-change variant is also available. Options include extended variants and a lens solution to maximise coupling from monochromator.
