A photodiode assembly is described which incorporates a Hewlett-Packard 5082–4220 diode in an impedance matched holder to produce a unit with a rise time of approximately 100 psec and a fall time of approximately 300 psec. The assembly was designed for detecting fast laser pulses, but it can be used for monitoring any high speed optical signal.
