50 GHz and 35 GHz Single Photodiodes
Use our photodiodes for communications or R&D applications needing either C- or dual-band operation and take advantage of their integrated chip biasing and optional low PDL.
Our high-speed devices optimize the combination of a waveguide and an active photodiode. They deliver excellent linearity, high responsivity, and superior flatness of RF response, and therefore ensure superb performance, even at high optical powers.
High-Speed Photodiodes – Some Key Details
Benefit from the high responsivity of >0.5 A/W for uses such as optical communication components, advanced component R&D, and in microwave photonics.
