Transmitters & Receivers
2 GHz High Sensitive APD Fiber Optical Amplified Photodetector / Photoreceiver
The FORX Linear Photoreceiver is designed for high-speed and high sensitivity analog and digital applications, featuring a surface-coupled coplanar waveguide APD photodiode and a linear transimpedance amplifier within a hermetically sealed package. Its high conversion gain and low input-referred noise ensure exceptional linearity and precision. For added convenience, We offer a driving PCB for easy integration and a metal box protective package to safeguard against ESD in laboratory environments, both come with a specially designed low noise power supply. Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) offer a better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than PIN photodiodes, primarily in low-light or low-signal conditions. Specifically, the SNR advantage of APDs is most significant when: 1.
