XPDV2120R, XPDV2150R, XPDV2120RA
Product Description
The key element of the u²t XPDV photodetector modules are our well-established waveguide-integrated photodiode chips. They are designed to exhibit an optimised frequency response in both power and phase. Due to skillful RF packaging, the pulse response shows almost no ringing. Our integrated on-chip spot size converter leads to a high responsivity and ensures reliability and robustness of the XPDV. A further advantage of the waveguide structure is the unsurpassed high-power behavior. A linear response up to an optical input power of 13 dBm is a unique feature of the XPDV photodetector modules. For short pulses, an output voltage swing of more than 1 Vpp can be achieved without any degradation of the pulse response. All u2t`s XPDVs contain our unique on-chip integrated bias network. It ensures an undisturbed frequency response from DC to the 3 dB cut-off frequency and saves costs of external bias-tees. The XPDV2120R replaces the XPDV2020R photodetector.
