PREAMPLIFIERS

Preamplifier

The PA200-10 preamplifier module is designed to be used with Photek detectors using 2 or less micro channel plates as they produce a small fast electrical pulse for each photon or particle passing through the detector.

Features

3dB Bandwidth: 2 GHz (typical)

Rise time: 180 ps

Max input: 400 mV

Jitter: less than 10 ps

Gain: 20dB non-inverting

Output: 50 ohm SMA

Applications

Preamplifier for photomultipliers and time of flight detectors

Takes timing pulses from vacuum compatible detectors, IPD’s and other Photek photon imaging detectors.

Overview

The PA200-10 is to be used in close conjunction with Photek detectors to amplify the timing pulses for connection by a 50 ohm cable to oscilloscopes or other fast timing electronics. The output from this unit is a voltage-amplified version of the input pulse. Pulses below 1.25ns will be temporally stretched to approximately twice their length i.e. a 1 ns pulse input will be a 2 ns pulse output. The amplification ratio is a minimum of 20db, i.e. gain of 10.
