Section 2. Overview:
The BPD-002-OEM is a compact, high performance, AC coupled balanced detector
specially designed for OEM applications. It has 3 SMA connectors for the RF output and
two power monitors. The balanced detectors, monitors, and amplifier circuits are
packaged in a compact shielding box with metal standoffs for mounting. With a
bandwidth of up to 400 MHz and a high conversion gain, the BPD-002-OEM is ideal for
integration into OCT, fiber sensor and high performance optical measurement systems.

Section 4. Device Operation:
Electrical and optical connections are required during setup of the BPD-002-OEM.
Follow safety precautions when making these connections.
4.1. Getting Started
Unpacking
Be careful when unpacking the BPD from its original packaging.
Avoid applying any force to optical fiber pigtails, and do not let any free-drop of fiber
connectors occur at any time. Excessive force to fiber pigtails may degrade device
performance or damage the module.
Observe standard electrical safety and antistatic precautions when handling the BPD
and making electrical connections.
Operation
Follow the steps below to operate the BPD-002
1. Connect the ±5V power supplies to 12-pin power connector.
2. Connect RF output connector (SMA, 50Ωimpedance).
3. Connect monitor output connectors (SMA, 200Ωimpedance).
Note that the gains of the monitor outputs have been set to compensate for
differences in the responsivities of the detectors. If the monitor 1 and monitor 2
outputs are equal, the inputs are balanced.
4. Connect optical inputs to the 2 input pigtails. Make sure that optical power levels
are within range and that the two inputs are balanced to within the balanced
saturation power.

To use the test fixture with the BPD-002-OEM:
1. Mount the BPD-002-OEM to the board by connecting the power connectors on
the bottom of the BPD to the mating connectors on the board. The pins are
labeled.
2. Connect the 3 power cables to the corresponding connectors on the board. The
cables are color coded.

3. Verify power supply settings and connect the cables to the ±5V power supplies
and to ground.
4. Connect RF output connector (SMA, 50Ωimpedance).
5. Connect monitor output connectors (SMA, 200Ωimpedance).
Note that the gains of the monitor outputs have been set to compensate for
differences in the responsivities of the detectors. If the monitor 1 and monitor 2
outputs are equal, the inputs are balanced.
6. Connect optical inputs to the 2 input pigtails. Make sure that optical power levels
are within range and that the two inputs are balanced to within the balanced
saturation power.
