===================
Wideband photodetector based on a Si-PIN photodiode ([Hamamatsu S9055-01](https://www.hamamatsu.com/resources/pdf/ssd/s9055_series_kpin1065e.pdf)) and a transimpedance amplifier (TIA). The detector features an additional non-inverting (voltage) amplifier stage AC-coupled to the TIA designed for the purpose of Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) laser locking.

An alternative version with [Excelitas C30617L-100](https://www.excelitas.com/de/product/c30617l-100-ingaas-pin-100um-ceramic-smd) InGaAs photodiode for applications between 960 nm and 1700 nm can be found [here](https://github.com/TU-Darmstadt-APQ/PDH_photodiode_SMD). All specs of the amplifiers hold for this version as well accounting for the significantly increased sensitivity of the photodiode.
