PREAMPLIFIERS

Preamplifier

The PA200-10 preamplifier module is designed to be used with Photek detectors using 2 or less micro channel plates as they produce a small fast electrical pulse for each photon or particle passing through the detector.

Applications

Preamplifier for photomultipliers and time of flight detectors

Takes timing pulses from vacuum compatible detectors, IPD’s and other Photek photon imaging detectors.

Overview

The PA200-10 is to be used in close conjunction with Photek detectors to amplify the timing pulses for connection by a 50 ohm cable to oscilloscopes or other fast timing electronics. The output from this unit is a voltage-amplified version of the input pulse. Pulses below 1.25ns will be temporally stretched to approximately twice their length i.e. a 1 ns pulse input will be a 2 ns pulse output. The amplification ratio is a minimum of 20db, i.e. gain of 10.
