40 Gb/s Differential PIN-TIA Optical Balanced Receiver

Description:

The DSC-R410 is a balanced PIN + Amplifier receiver module ideally suited for 40 Gb/s DQPSK and DPSK applications. In addition, the R410 includes a unique Peak Detector function which allows for the monitoring of the peak AC photo-current. The R410 has extremely high conversion gain of 1800 V/W, excellent OSNR performance and +2dBm optical overload. The R410 is available with differential GPPO RF outputs or a single-ended K-connector RF output, and utilizes Discovery’s high-reliability InGaAs photodiode technology.

Salient Features:

• 40 Gb/s Balanced receiver with matched responsivity & RF response
• Peak detector function for monitoring of AC photo-current
• Very high differential conversion gain of 1,800 V/W
• Low BER with heavy ASE noise loading
• High responsivity at 1310nm, 1550nm & L-band
• Low PDL (typical 0.1dB)
• Low power dissipation of 400 mW
• Differential or single-ended RF outputs
• High Reliability InGaAs photodiode and qualified amplifier IC

Applications:

• 40 Gb/s DQPSK and DPSK optical systems
  
• Coherent lightwave systems
• Ideal front-end O/E converter for balanced test instruments
• Military communications

Available Models:

• DSC-R410 - 40 Gb/s Differential PIN-TIA Optical Balanced Receiver
