Since the bandwidth of the fiber PD is ~ 1GHz, we could design the frequency discriminator to have a wider bandwidth (~ 500MHz). The output from the frequency discriminator could then be used to define the range setting of the frequency counter for readout or may be even error signal to the PID loop.

A test run for the analog DFD with cable length difference of 27cm gave a linear output signal with zero-crossing at ~206MHz.

Detailed schematic of the setup and plot (voltage vs frequency) will be updated shortly.
