Discovery Semiconductors, a leader in wide bandwidth detector technology, has announced the availability of the Model DSC10S-3, a 50 GHz detector with fiber pigtail. Featuring a 10 micron sweet spot with unique high dynamic range and linearity, this photodetector provides DC to 50 GHz bandwidth and responsivity of 0.55 A/W. It saves precious board real estate with its small footprint hermetically sealed package. When driven with an optical power input of 10 mw, this device provides sufficient output to eliminate a pre-amp stage. Driven by low-duty cycle pulses of high power, this device drives decision circuits directly, thus eliminating the noise normally associated with intermediate gain stages. The 50 GHz performance of the Model DSC10S-3 photodetector allows added flexibility for the 40 Gbit link designer by eliminating the system bandwidth restriction of narrower bandwidth devices. Typically, the optical input to this device is a standard FC, SC or ST connector with PC, APC or UPC finish and the RF output is a standard V connector.
Various connectors can be provided to tailor the device to any particular application and special fiber requirements can be accommodated.
