Top-Illuminated Monitor Photodiode Chips
Choose a standard or large area photodiode for channel monitoring anywhere across the 1270-1620 nm wavelength range and benefit from an extremely low dark current.
These InGaAs monitor photodiode chips are available with a detection area of either 255 μm x 255 μm, or circular Ø 550 μm. Simple to integrate in transceivers and transponders, the smaller option is qualified according to GR-468 for use in non-hermetic packages.
Top-Illuminated Monitor Photodiode Chips
Use these in high-performance communications components which benefit from their high reliability and wide (-40 to 90°C) operating temperature range.
