Linear InGaAs PIN Photodetector, 23 GHz (Space Qualified)

PART NUMBER : PD-1550-20-SP

The PD-1550-20-SP is a highly linear, 23 GHz bandwidth InGaAs PIN photodetector that is ideal for use in 0/E front-ends requiring wide band frequency response. The coplanar waveguide photodiode design optimizes speed and sensitivity for the 1260 nm through 1610 nm
wavelength range and assures a 23 GHz frequency response necessary for digital, analog and space laser applications. The front-illuminated mesa-structured PIN design allows a high input power level of up to 40 mW. The PD-1550-20-SP is available in a standard 2-pin package with SMA RF connector output for ease of assembly and can be ordered with or without the external protective housing. The photodetector passes satellite environmental qualification test project such as temperature, vibration, shock, thermal and radiation test, making it qualified for space laser
communication.
