Finisar 50GHz SGL Photodetector

The XPDV23x0R platform exhibits an optimized frequency response in both, power and phase. It is ideally suited for OC-768/STM-256 long haul systems. The on-chip integrated bias network with optimized design ensures an undisturbed frequency response to the 3dB cut-off frequency and saves costs for internal bias-tees. The module is especially designed for both optical windows at 1310 nm and 1550 nm. Further advantage of the waveguide structure is the unbeatable RF high-power behavior. The photodetector shows a linear response up to an optical input power of 10 dBm, resulting in a high output voltage swing avoiding the need for electrical amplification.
