High-Speed Detectors Provide Fast Measurements for the Lab
High-speed detectors are general-purpose laboratory devices that are useful in a wide variety of high-bandwidth applications. They may be used to provide optical input to high-speed oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, or as integral components in experiments where timing, microwave detection, or other needs are met. With recent advances in high-speed communications systems and short-pulse lasers, many applications are pushing the requirements of...
