By combining state of the art photodiodes with the proven and outstanding FEMTO GHz amplifier technology we designed a new family of photoreceivers with a remarkable performance. The Femto HSPR-X and HSA-X-S offer an upper bandwidth limit of 2 GHz. Two models with either a fast Si-PIN or InGaAs-PIN photodiode cover a spectral range from 320 to 1000 nm and 900 to 1700 nm, respectively. Due to the sophisticated amplifier design the minimum NEP is just 11 pW/√Hz at a transimpedance of 5 x 103 V/A. This allows for the measurement of optical power levels in the µW range with GHz speed.
