Abstract

A light detector housing in which the light detector is mounted directly on the central conductor of a coaxial transmission line and in which an electrically conducting sheet extends around the light detector forming an rf ground plane in close proximity to the detector. One or a plurality of capacitors provide a low impedance electrical connection at rf frequencies and a high impedance at zero frequency between the header of the housing and the electrically conducting sheet.
