The OT-301DL printed circuit board amplifier is designed for direct integration into OEM instrumentation. Optimized for duolateral Position Sensing Detectors (PSDs) with selectable bias voltages and three gain ranges, the OT-301DL’s circuit elements add, subtract and divide detector signals with exceptional accuracy.
Precision op amps and precision resistor networks provide the final ratio. The analog dividers provide the utmost in linearity over a very wide signal range.
The final stages provide +10% reading adjustment of the X and Y outputs and serve as a high-performance output buffer for driving long cables. The sum signal equals the total detector signal and is proportional to the incident beam power.
The OT-301DL includes a DC-DC converter that can be removed and replaced with an external power source for reducing cost in high-volume OEM applications.
Beam position is calculated from the ratio of signals generated by the PSD’s two cathode connections (designated X1 and X2) and two anode connections (Y1 and Y2). Four transimpedance amplifiers on the OT-301DL accurately measure all cathode and anode signal currents.
