APPLICATIONS
40/43 Gb/s DQPSK optical communication
systems
Advanced Test & Measurement systems
High speed optical sensoring
The balanced photodetector consists of two optimized, waveguide-integrated photodiodes on one
single chip. As a single balanced photodetector, this configuration ensures an excellent uniformity
of the paired photodiodes and is biased via integrated biasing network. Due to optimized
combination of waveguide and PD design, even at high optical powers, a linear frequency
response can be guaranteed. The integrated 50 Ω termination allows an excellent match of the
electrical output signal. Customized configurations are available, such as BPDV dual pair -and
quad sets, including fiber matching and connector customization.

IX. Accessories
Evaluation Kit
The kit serves as easy-to-use utility to characterize
the balanced photodetector under laboratory
conditions and contents of a printed circuit board
(PCB), four screws to establish removable
connectivity between photodetector and board, as
one DC cable to ensure the photodiode bias
voltage.
ORDERING INFORMATION
Evaluation board for all balanced detectors; includes 1x PCB, 1x DC cable set and 4x
socket head screws 4-40 UNC
Photodetector Power Supply
We recommend usage of our
individually accessible photodetector
power supply (PPS), in particular for
optimized performance at high optical
input levels. As portable device it
provides stable biasing voltage supply
and a front display for review on
photocurrent.
ORDERING INFORMATION
Photodetector power supply for all balanced detectors; includes 2x PPS, 1x cable-set
B-type. The PPS is compatible with EVA-board (specified scheme applicable to RM
& RQ version). PPS units include 2x 1.5V batteries
