A low-noise, 15 dB gain balanced photoreceiver for wavelengths from 800nm to 1650nm with over 14 or 20 GHz bandwidth. The optical signal is converted to electrical signals in identical wide-bandwidth InGaAs PIN diodes. The signals are then combined and amplified with 15 dB of power gain, rejecting common-mode noise, thus improving link SNR.

For busy test stations or student labs, where users of different experience levels might be handling high value opto-electronics that are easily damaged by mishandling, order your balanced optical receiver to be mounted in the Lab Buddy.
