SPD-15-M

The Optilab SPD-15-M is a highly linear, 15 GHz bandwidth GaAs PIN photodiode module that is optimized for 850 nm operational wavelength; it is ideal for use in O/E front-ends requiring wide band frequency response. The coplanar waveguide photodiode design optimizes speed and sensitivity for the 850 nm and assures a 15 GHz frequency response necessary for digital and analog applications. The front-illuminated mesa-structured PIN design allows a high input power level of up to 20 mW. This compact, cost-effective receiver module can provide users with status monitoring through the use of an on-board processor that communicates to a host computer over an RS-232 I/O interface via a standard USB 2.0 port.
