Position Sensing Amplifier

For Single Axis Position Sensing Detectors

The OT-301SL is a printed circuit board amplifier designed for direct integration into users instrumentation. It is optimized for single axis Position Sensing Detectors (PSDs) with adjustable bias voltages and three switch selectable gain ranges. The OT-301SL contains all the circuit elements to add, subtract and divide detector signals very accurately. Precision op amps and precision resistor networks provide the addition and subtraction operations and optimized analog dividers provide the final ratio. This analog divider provides the highest  linearity available over a very wide signal range. The final stages provide ±10% adjustment in the Y output and also serve as high performance output buffer for driving long cables. A sum signal is also provided which equals the total detector signal and is proportional to the incident beam wattage.

The single axis PSD device has two anode connections designated Y1 and Y2. The beam's position is calculated from the ratios of these signals. The OT-301SL has two current mode operational amplifiers designed to accurately measure the PSD anode signal currents. The two amplifiers are designed to be closely matched and have very low noise levels.

EquationThe exact relationship between PSD signals and beam position is at right: Where Y is the coordinate of the centroid of the beam spot on the PSD surface (measured from the detector center); and L is the size of the detector's sensitive surface in mm (e.g.: 2.5, 5.0, 10, 20, 30 mm).
