The photoreceiver modules are used for OC-192 or STM64 telecom applications with 150 V/W output into 50 W. A companion product delivers DC to 5 GHz bandwidths with output of 450 V/W. These devices have application in long-haul telephone, CATV, and optical interconnect applications.

Measurements have shown the photodiode maintains its bandwidth at 850 nm, despite lower responsivity, making the units of interest to developers of next generation local-area networks (LANs). Convenient to use, only +5 and -0.5 V bias voltages are needed, with power dissipation at 300 mW for the 10 GHz module model DSC-R401 and -500 mW for the higher gain DSC-R402.

The small footprint RF modules are hermetically-sealed in microwave packages and include single-mode fiber pigtails. SMA-compatible Wiltron type "K" connectors are standard for their superior flat frequency response and connection repeatability.
