SV2-FC In Stock

The SV2-FC by ThorLabs is a highly advanced optical detector package designed to offer unparalleled performance in the detection of high-speed photodetection with FC/PC-connectorized single mode or multimode fiber optic cables. The SV2-FC has been carefully manufactured using state-of-the-art microwave-qualified parts, ensuring reliability and precision in all operations.

The SV2-FC offers an impressive 2 GHz bandwidth and incorporates a cutting-edge Si detector for optimal detection in the 320 – 1100 nm range. This detector package is highly versatile and is designed to connect directly to an oscilloscope with a built-in Bias-T. With its small package size, the SV2-FC is easy to mount, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

One of the key benefits of the SV2-FC is its exceptional responsivity, which is rated at 0.5 A/W at the wavelength of light illuminating the sensor. This means that when the average power of the light incident on the detector is 1 mW, the photocurrent generated will be 0.5 mA. Moreover, when using the biased photodetector with a battery power source, the package offers an impressive battery life of up to 380 hours of continuous use with a specified capacity of 190 mAh. By reducing the average incident power of the light to 10 µW, the same battery would last for about 4 years when used continuously.
