This detection module is highly versatile, thanks to a USB connection and a LabVIEW interface allowing the user to change the bias voltage and the temperature of the diode. The module is equipped with a dual universal output signal port which can be set through the software interface. The module is compatible with C-mount, SM1 and cage technologies from Thorlabs. This allows an easy coupling of the light beam onto the active area of the detectors.
