OSI Optoelectronics’ QD7-0-SD or QD50-0-SD sum and difference amplifier position sensing modules are quadrant photodiode arrays with associated circuitry to provide two difference signals and a sum signal.

The two difference signals are voltage analogs of the relative intensity difference of the light sensed by opposing pairs of the photodiode quadrant elements. In addition, the amplified sum of all four quadrant elements is provided as the sum signal.

This makes the QD7-0-SD or QD50-0-SD ideal for both light beam nulling and position applications. Very precise light beam alignments are possible, and the circuit can also be used for target acquisition and alignment.

Key Features:

  • 10 µm Gap is Available for the QD50-SD Modules
  • Other QD7-XX or QD50-XX are Available Upon Request


Applications: Position Measuring; Beam Centering; Targeting; Guidance Systems

HSPC-1000 High-Speed Benchtop Polarization Controller/Scrambler
Benchtop Type; 1260-1650 nm; 4 Channels; Min. Retardation Range 2π; Fiber Type SM (9/125 µm); Connector Type FC/PC, FC/APC, SC/PC, SC/APC, LC/PC OZ Optics’ HSPC-1000 high-speed benchtop polarization controller/scrambler can control and/or scramble the polarization state of light passing through a fiber optic system. The HSPC-1000 generates four independent waveforms, operating at user-selectable frequencies, to generate different polarization states. It can also provide user-adjustable steady state signals to generate a particular polarization state. The HSPC-1000 contains four optical retardation elements that are used to produce any state of polarization. Each of these elements is controlled by an electrical signal, generated by an internal piezoelectric element in the device driver. The driver produces the appropriate drive signals: four independent signals that can be directly controlled by the HSPC-1000 high-speed benchtop polarization controller/scrambler.
