Photodiode Arrays feature 4-element design.

Designed for 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s optical communications, Quad InGaAs Photodiode Arrays consist of 4 photodiodes monolithically integrated on common InP substrate. Diodes are available in 10, 30, 40, or 50 Â-µm diameters and feature RF bandwidth of 10, 15, 20, or 40 GHz. With optical power handling exceeding +12dBm for each photodiode, arrays are suited for 100 Gb/s Long-Haul Pol-Mux (D)QPSK,...

Discovery Semiconductors Extends 10Gb/s Reach up to 300km Using DPSK, Coherent Detection, and Electronic Dispersion Compensation

January 28, 2008 - Ewing, NJ - Discovery Semiconductors, Inc. has demonstrated the effectiveness of its 10Gb/s DPSK coherent receiver system Kitty Hawk in combination with an electronic dispersion compensator. An extended reach of 300km over G.652 (standard single-mode) fiber was obtained. This is the longest G.652 transmission at 10.7Gb/s that does not depend on optical dispersion compensation...
