Discovery receivers couple the output of the diodes directly into the amplifier, achieving wide bandwidth and efficiency in a small hermetically sealed package. Six models provide flexibility for matching the needs of short, medium and long reach systems at 10, 12.5, 20 and 40 Gb/sec data rates. All offer a choice of optical fiber pigtail and input connectors, type K and V coaxial RF connectors and convenient bias supply connections. The following lists provide a brief description of each model.

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 optical receiver to be mounted in the Lab Buddy.
