This repository contains the dataset related to the paper "Quantum limits of
position-sensitive photodiodes" by E. Fradgley et al.

It contains the files:

MANIFEST (this file)
PSDOscAmpSignal.txt
SplitOscAmpSignal.txt

---------------------

File PSDOscAmpSignal.txt contains the data related to the Lateral Effect Photodetector.

File SplitOscAmpSignal.txt contains the data related to the Split Photodetector.

Each file contains 10 lines, respectively corresponding to modulation depths of 
1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 kHz. The last line is obtained with no light
impinging onto the detector and reflects the electronic noise.

Each line is made of a voltage value proportional to the total optical power
recorded by the detector and a series of values between brackets [] describing
the captured power spectrum.

The proportionality constant for the optical power measurement is sensibly the
same for both detectors but does not account for differences in quantum
efficiencies.

The power spectra between brackets are a series of 461 values in dBm, spanning
regularly distributed analyzing frequencies between 180 kHz and 220 kHz.

For all other settings and the experimental set-up, refer to the paper above.
