The 1-hour course module enables the student to assess the photodiode sensor gain, sensitivity, and saturation level. The 2-hour module teaches the student how to measure a short pulse laser and its repetition rate as well as evaluate the limiting parameters and potential measurements artifacts. The 3-hour module provides students with an overview of laser diode noise analysis and coherence measurements.

Detection of light is one of the most important tasks in photonics application and research. These photodiode educational kits allow the student to discover the various complexities linked with low noise and fast characterization of light emitted from laser diodes. The 3 available modules have different objectives, but they all contribute to providing a solid technical overview of measurement constraints and potential measurements artifacts encountered when working with photodiodes. The 3 available kits share similar drivers and photodiodes. The course modules were designed to enable an educator to order the complete set, which provides a well-designed program to build sequentially any of the 3 student work plans described below. Each work plan includes a student guide document to guide the student through the material supplied with the education kit module.
These educational kits from AeroDIODE are designed for students, researchers and engineers who are involved in optics related fields. They are based on AeroDIODE products and technology. They enable the student to set up and characterize laser diode emission, modulation and photodiode detection. They also enable the student to learn the fundamentals of photonic architectures such as laser cavities, interferometers, and MOPA / master oscillator power amplifier architectures.

The kits include a laser diode driver with GUI control and various power and/or wavelength sensors. They offer a thorough overview of the various skills required when handling lasers and fiber optics technologies.
The photodiode education kits from AeroDIODE are part of a multi-category education kit offering dedicated to hands-on laser and photonic education. Each category has its own dedicated product page:
Each educational kit category shown above (Laser Emission | Detection | Modulation | Optical Fiber) is offered in three versions: 1-hour, 2-hours, or one-half day course modules. AeroDIODE educational kits include both the educational material hardware and a student instruction document template.
To follow laser safety regulations, all kits are classified as either Laser Class 1M or Class 3R. A guide is provided along with each of the kits to detail safety processes, set-up instructions, and course-related questions.
AeroDIODE products leverage proprietary, cutting edge technology which has been under development in the well known ALPhANOV technology center for over 15 years. AeroDIODE is a member of EPIC European industry association and “Route des Lasers” cluster .
