OSI Fibercomm Introduces New InGaAs Photodiode With Transimpedance Amplifier

Hawthorne, CA -- April 17, 2003 -- OSI Fibercomm, a subsidiary of OSI SYSTEMS (Nasdaq: OSIS), introduces two new photodetector hybrid series. Each series features InGaAs sensors with wide dynamic range combined with low noise transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), excellent for high-speed optical communications. The devices are housed in a hermetically sealed 4-pin TO-46 package, making conditions ideal for high-speed signal detection and amplification for datacom and telecom applications.

The FCI-H125 / 250G-InGaAs-70 offers high bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, ATM and SONET OC-48 / SDH STM-16 applications. High responsivity from 1100nm to 1650nm and high sensitivity with low capacitance and low dark current enhance performance for high-bit rate receivers used in LAN, MAN, WAN and other high speed communication systems.

The FCI-H155 / 622M-InGaAs-70 series features 70mm InGaAs photodetectors with exceptionally low noise TIAs and high responsivity. Combined with a low capacitance and low dark current, the series incorporates with an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) function for superior sensitivity performance and overload of hybrids. The 155Mbps / 622 Mbps hybrids are suitable for optical receivers, ATM, SONET OC-3 / OC-12, and SDH STM-1 / STM-4 applications.

Both of OSI Fibercomm's hybrid photodetector series exhibit excellent sensitivity. The standard TO-46 package comes with a lensed cap to increase coupling efficiency or with a broadband double-sided AR coated flat window. The packages are also available with FC, SC, ST and/or SMA receptacles.
