TIA-950
O/E Converter
Benefits:
• 900 nm to 1700 nm wavelengths
• Gain Switch 1X and 10X
• Battery Operation
• Bandwidth to 750 MHz
• BNC Connects to Oscilloscope
• AC or DC Interstage Coupling

The TIA-950 is the optimum instrument for the laboratory or for
field use. This optical receiver can
be used with a wide range of oscilloscopes and digitizers to provide the utility of a convenient, easy
to use fiber optic probe. This compact unit mounts directly on the
BNC input of an oscilloscope. Energizing the unit, the optical signal
presented to it is faithfully reproduced on the CRT of the oscilloscope or digitizer.
Applications for this instrument
include: checking the output of fiber optic communication links, data
links, fiber optic

computer networks, the operation of laser sources, and the signal from an optical transmitter.
Adapters are available for fiber optic connector compatibility.
Gains are switch selected and
provide peak responsivity values
of approximately 1200 to 12000
volts per watt at the peak of the
detector response curve.
AC coupling between stages
may be introduced so that weak
signals in the presence of a strong
DC signal may be examined.
The TIA-950 electrical

bandwidth exceeds 750 MHz in
the low gain position and 250 MHz
in the high gain position.
The output stage of the TIA-950
is fully capable of driving a 50 ohm
coaxial cable terminated in its
characteristic impedance.
The InGaAs detector covers the
900 to 1700 nm spectral region.The
TIA-950 comes standard with a FC
fiber optic connector.
Powered by a 9V Lithium battery, the TIA-950 provides true
electrical isolation from power
lines and ground loops. A universal
wall-mount power supply is provided
as well.
