Summary

RF Photodetector Schematic.


Description

RF Photodetector schematic for the Advanced LIGO length sensing and control.

This photodetector does the readout at 9 & 45 MHz, while rejecting signals at the intermodulation harmonics.

Input referred shot noise equivalent DC current is less than 2 mA in both channels.

The DC circuit show here is intentionally simplified. The actual one has a high current buffer and a follow on lead filter to provide high frequency signal amplification.
