Linear InGaAs 8-PIN Photodetector, 20 GHz, Up to 100 mW, High Input Power (Space Qualified)

PART NUMBER : PDB-1550-20-SP

The PDB-1550-20-SP is a highly linear, 20 GHz bandwidth InGaAs 8-pin photodetectorthat is ideal for use in O/E front-ends requiring wide band frequency response and spacelaser appli cations. It features high input power handling up to 100 mW. Also, the coplanarwaveguide photodiode design optimizes speed and sensitivity for the 1260 nm through 1610 nmwave length range and assures a 20 GHz frequency response necessary for digital and analogapplications. The front-illuminated mesa-structured PIN design allows a high input powerlevel of up to 40 mW. The PDB-1550-20-SP is available in a standard 8-pin package with SMARF connector output for ease of assembly and can be ordered with or without the externalprotective housing. The photodetector passes satellite environmental qualification test project such as temperature, vibration,shock, thermalandradiationtest,makingitqualifiedforspacelaser communication.
