PD-200 High-Speed High-Power Photodetector
-
These high speed photodiode, PD-200, is hermetically sealed, high reliability, low harmonic distortion photodiode modules designed for high optical power applications with minimum bandwidths of 20 GHz. The device is well suited for receiver applications with optical pre-amplification, and is available either with or without an internal 50Ω termination. The photodiode module is available in either a V-connector package or a miniature surface mount package with CPW (coplanar waveguide) RF output.

40Gb/s Coherent Receiver
-
The integrated 40-Gb/s DP-QPSK receiver incorporates two 90° optical hybrids with four pairs of balanced photodetector (PD) and four linear TIAs into a single butterfly package. Unlike other technologies in which the polarization beam splitter (PBS) and/or the power splitter (BS) are not included, Optoplex’s receiver includes both of them with the optical hybrids, PDs and the TIAs to offer a fully integrated solution which will benefit users in terms of completely removing fiber routing and the skew management. The integrated receivers work at the symbol rate up to 12.8GBaud/s.

Frequency Response Analyzers
-
Frequency Response Analysis (also referred to as Transfer Function Analysis) measures the output spectrum of a system relative to a stimulus, and is used to characterize the dynamics of the system under test. The technique measures the magnitude and phase relationship between output and input waveforms as a function of frequency. The input signals may be from a wide range of sensors including acoustic (microphones/sonar), mechanical (accelerometers/displacement transducers), optical (photodetectors), and electrical (amplifiers).

High-speed Photodetectors
11HSP
-
Only gigahertz-bandwidth qualified components are used in those high-speed photodetectors. An impedance matched microstrip line is used to couple the diode's output to the output connector. A microwave quality SMA electro-magnetic wave launcher is used to couple the signal to the scope.

2x8 Coherent Mixer With Single-ended Photodetectors
-
This page defines the requirement of a special coherent receiver with 8 single-ended photodiode outputs, per customer request. The coherent mixer, consisting of two polarization-diversified 90deg optical hybrids, a polarizing beam splitter and a beam splitter, is exactly same as existing DP-QPSK coherent mixer, and therefore offering same optical performance.
