The module consists of a PIN photodetector, a low noise
preamplifier, a connectorized single-mode fibre pigtail
and a hermetic metal package with coplanar output.
Optimized for use in 10 Gb/s long haul applications,
either as a discrete device or within a transponder,
using NRZ Modulation.
Features:
• High sensitivity, -18.5 dBm typical
• Surface mount MSA compliant
• Low capacitance high speed InGaAs PIN detector
• Hermetically sealed
• Designed to exceed the requirements of Telcordia
GR468-CORE
• Single mode fibre tail
• Compatible with AT10GC APD Receiver
• Output stage limits the signal to typically 1100 mV p-p
differential, removing the need for a post amplifier
• RoHS 5/6 compliant
