Transmitters & Receivers
8GHz Fiber Optical Amplified InGaAs PIN Photodetector
The FORX Photoreceiver is designed for high-speed and high sensitivity analog and digital applications, featuring a high bandwidth PIN photodiode and a linear preamplifier within a hermetically sealed coaxial package. The module incorporates a highly stable optical coupling system. Its 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. Due to their high sensitivity to electrostatic discharge, warranty coverage applies only to fully metal covered modules the benchtops, which include proper protection. Other versions of the lasers and photodetectors are not covered by any warranty. Please use them with great caution.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect 8GHz Fiber Optical Amplified InGaAs PIN Photodetector to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Connector: Non, FC/PC, FC/APC
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Wavelength Range: 1300-1600nm
- Check the Transmitters & Receivers passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
