10 Gb/s InGaAs High-Sensitivity Limiting Optical Receiver

The DSC-R603 is a high-gain PIN + Transimpedance + Limiting amplifier ideally suited for digital applications up to 13 Gb/s. The R603 offers extremely high differential conversion gain of 9,000 V/W, high sensitivity of -20dBm, optical overload of +4dBm, and very low power dissipation of 170mW. The R603 is available in three package styles: single-ended K-connector, differential GPPO, and a miniature surface mount package with CPW (coplanar waveguide) RF outputs. The R603 utilizes Discovery's high-reliability InGaAs photodiode technology.Salient Features: High differential conversion gain of 9,000 V/WHigh Responsivity at 1310nm, 1550nm & L-band850nm MMF versions availableSensitivity of -20 dBm at 10 Gb/s, 1550nmOptical overload of +4 dBm at 10 Gb/sExternal decision threshold adjustmentK-connector, GPPO or surface mount package optionsVery low power dissipation of 170 mWLow optical PDL @ 1550nm (typically 0.05dB)Meets GR-468 reliability standardApplications:10 Gb/s SONET/SDH/Ethernet Intermediate ReachDigital applications up to 13 Gb/s baud rateHigh sensitivity/wide dynamic range digital applications
