10Gbps APD Preamp Receiver, Bookham (Oclaro) AT10GC, Fiber Coupled Photo-Detector

10Gbps APD Preamp Receiver, Bookham (Oclaro) AT10GC, Fiber Coupled Photo-Detector

The AT10GC receiver consists of an avalanche photodiode, a low-noise preamplifier and a precision NTC thermistor in a hermetic coplanar package with a connectorized single-mode fiber pigtail. Differential outputs are provided to improve noise rejection for enhanced sensitivity. It has been optimised for use in 10Gb/s metro applications, either as a discrete device or within a transponder, using NRZ modulation, with or without FEC, at data rates up to 10.709Gb/s.
