The Optilab PDB-30 is a highly linear, 30 GHz bandwidth InGaAs 8-pin photodetector that 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 1260 nm through 1610 nm wavelength range, and assures a 30 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. The PDB-30 is available in a standard 8-pin package with SMA RF connector output for ease of assembly, and can be ordered with or without the external protective housing. Contact Optilab for more information.
