30 GHz Balance Photodetector / Photoreceiver Module

SKU: BPRM

The BPRM is a turnkey High Speed Balanced Photoreceiver is designed for high-speed analog and digital light detection, offering exceptional performance with a differential gain of approximately 2800 V/W and a bandwidth of up to 40 GHz. It features two waveguide-integrated PIN photodiodes and a limiting delivers a differential output voltage swing of approximately 600 mV. The BPRM achieves excellent electrical and optical phase propagation with a total skew of less than 5 ps between balanced signal paths and 10 ps total skew for all fiber pairs. Each amplifier path includes a threshold control at the linear amplification stage to optimize the differential output signal. The BPRM includes a low-noise power supply for simple, plug-and-play operation. This photoreceiver is ideal for applications requiring high sensitivity and high-speed balanced detection.
BPRM balanced photodetector is biased to operate with both optical inputs simultaneously and at similar power levels. If only one input is applied, the detector will saturate for input powers above −13 dBm.
