Charge Amplifiers
Charge Amplifiers
Charge amplifiers are current integrators producing an output voltage proportional to the charge collected at the amplifier input over a certain amount of time. The HQA-15M-10T was designed for AC modulated charge sources like tuning fork quartz crystals and length extension resonators with an amplifier gain of 10 V/pC and bandwidth 250 Hz to 15 MHz, however custom amplifiers are available.
Applications include; pre-amplifiers for Pyroelectric (Pyros) and Piezoelectric detectors, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM / SFM), nanoscopes, Charged particle beam alignment using the charge amplifier as a pre-amp for ion detectors such as a faraday cup or other ion detector.
