Product Series Overview

12 GHz Fiber-Optic Receivers

The 1544-B DC-Coupled NIR Fiber-Optic Receiver is ideal for applications that require high sensitivity, high speed, and clean responses. It offers clean responses and 32-ps rise times making it well-suited for time-domain characterization of 10-Gbit/s components. Its high gain and well-behaved frequency response also make it useful for frequency-domain measurements. For higher responsivity from 500-1630 nm, this photoreceiver has a singlemode fiber input and consists of our new, improved InGaAs PIN photodiodes followed by a GaAs HBT amplifier.

An external power supply, which must be purchased separately, is required – we recommend our 0901 power supply. Power supply cables 0923 and 0924 are included with each detector.

Typical Responsivity of Model 1544

Typical Pulse and Step Response of Model 1544

NOTE: Pulse response measured on a 20-GHz oscilloscope with a 100-fs optical pulse. Step response calculated from pulse response.

Typical Frequency Response of Model 1544

Ultra-clean Pulse Response

The clean response and 32 ps rise time make these devices especially well-suited for time-domain characterization of 10-Gbit/s components. The high gain and gradual, well-behaved roll-off of the frequency response also make them useful for frequency-domain measurements.

Switchable DC-Coupled or AC-Coupled Output

The -B versions of these photoreceivers include a DC-coupled option so they give response all the way down to DC. At the touch of a switch, you can select the traditional AC-coupled output with a 10-kHz cutoff or DC-coupled mode.

Applications

Eye Diagram - 10 Gbit/s data generated with Model 1544-A fiber-optic receiver.

Applications for these photoreceivers include:

Characterizing 10-Gbit/s components, including BER testing and generating eye diagrams
Characterizing the frequency or time responses of pulsed lasers, modulators, and transmitters
Characterizing pulse propagation through dispersive optical systems
RIN measurements
Heterodyne experiments
Precision timing/triggering
