High Optical Power Handling, Highly Linear Photodiodes to 6 GHz


Description:

These low harmonic distortion, high speed photodiodes are hermetically sealed, and are designed for high optical power applications with minimum bandwidth of 6 GHz. These devices employ custom optical beam shaping techniques and are well suited for applications requiring highly linear operation such as antenna remoting, RF-over-fiber signal distribution, and photonic microwave oscillators. These photodiode modules are available in either a K-connector package or a miniature surface mount package with CPW (coplanar waveguide) RF output, and utilizes Discovery's high-reliability InGaAs photodiode technology.

Salient Features:

  • High Current Handling (> 30 mA)
  • Highly Linear Operation (OIP2 > +55 dBm, OIP3 > +45 dBm)
  • Lowest PDL (typical 0.05 dB)
  • Useable spectral wavelength range of 800-1650 nm
  • K-connector or surface mount package options
  • Low Group Delay
  • High Reliability
  • One device for multiple wavelengths reduces operational & inventory costs

Applications:

  • High Dynamic Range, Analog RF Links for Antenna Remoting
  • RF-over-Fiber signal distribution for GPS, GSM, CDMA, WiMax, LTE, etc.
  • Low-Phase Noise Photonic Microwave Oscillators
  • Photonic Analog-to-Digital Converters
  • Coherent Lightwave Systems having high coherent gain
  • Ideal Front-End O/E Converter for Test Instruments

Available Models:

  • DSC100 - High Optical Power Handling Photodiodes to 6 GHz
  • DSC100S - High Optical Power Handling Photodiodes to 6 GHz
