fiber optic receivers, indium gallium arsenide, optical detectors, photodetectors, laser diodes, transimpedance amplifiers

EPITAXX Inc. is the leading supplier of high-speed, 10 Gb/s, Indium Gallium Aresenide ( InGaAs ) receivers and optical monitors for use in fiberoptic communications technology. We offer high performance Avalanche Photodiodes (APD) and PIN Photodiodes for applications including high-speed DWDM transmission, optical networking, Access and CATV distribution.

Our high speed 10 Gb/s and 2.5 Gb/s APD and PIN-based receivers provide high sensitivity and minimum bandwidths of 8 GHz for DWDM, OC-192/STM-64 applications and 1.9 GHz for DWDM, OC-48/STM-16 SONET/SDH applications.

EPITAXX is a pioneer in developing innovative optical monitors that can handle the demands of rapidly changing network systems. For example, we are the first to develop monitors that have extremely low dark current, low PDL, high responsivity in L-band and passband monitors.

Our CATV receivers utilize an EPITAXX proprietary high-linearity detector structure for superior IM2 performance in both Forward and Return Path applications. EPITAXX also has a complete line of optical monitors and photodiodes for optical network monitoring and Access applications.
