High Optical Power Handling Photodiodes to 50 GHz


Description:

The DSC 10H and 20H are hermetically sealed, high reliability, low harmonic distortion photodiode modules designed for high optical power applications. The devices are well suited for receiver applications with optical preamplification and have a small physical footprint.

Salient Features:

  • High Optical Power Delivers up to 500 mVpp Output
  • Lowest PDL (typical 0.05 dB)
  • Useable spectral wavelength range of 800-1650 nm
  • Low Group Delay
  • Low Harmonic Distortion
  • Small Footprint & High Reliability
  • Bellcore GR-468 Qualified
  • One device for multiple wavelengths reduces operational & inventory costs

Applications:

  • Optically Amplified Systems
  • RZ, NRZ, Super FEC Formats to 43 Gb/s
  • Low Distortion, High Dynamic Range Analog RF Links over Fiber
  • Rapid Doppler-Shift LIDAR Measurements
  • Coherent Lightwave Systems
  • Ideal Front-End O/E Converter for Test Instruments

Available Models:

  • DSC10H - 42+ GHz High Optical Power Handling Photodiodes
  • DSC20H - 32+ GHz High Optical Power Handling Photodiodes
