O/E front-end for receivers in applications
Specifications
Wavelength range
Minimum Typical Maximum Units
up to 10.7 Gb/s. The back-illuminated
PIN photodiode design optimizes speed
and sensitivity for the 1200 nm through
1650 nm wavelength range. The internal
Clean-pulseTM design assures low group-
delay response necessary for time-domain,
digital applications.

The detector is available in a compact
3-pin package with either a K output
connector or an RF feed-through pin for
direct soldering to circuit boards. Input
via a single-mode fiber is standard.
The hermetic module is Telcordia
compliant.
