The SD42 Optical-to-electrical Converter head can be used to analyze optical
signals in the 1000 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range. The pulse response of the
measurement system is less than 55 ps FWHM (Full-width, Half-maximum), which is
equivalent to a calculated bandwidth of DC to 6.4 GHz. The electrical output on
the front panel is coupled to the adjacent sampling head via the semi-rigid
coaxial link provided.
The SD42 is also equipped with an optical power meter for average power
monitoring through a pair of voltage outputs on the front panel. Power from 5
nW to 5 mW can be measured.
Tektronix SD42 Features:

<55 ps optical impulse
response (FWHM) with the SD-24 and SD-26, <60 ps optical impulse response
(FWHM) with the SD-22.
