Firefly Optical Photo Diode (OPD) Firefly’s OPD and VLF receiver board (Engineering unit). The optical detector chain will be calibrated at UNH. Firefly’s OPD uses two wide-band filters which respond to TLEs and lightning, and two narrowband filters (centered on 777.5 nm) for background rejection and lightning-only detection
