PINFET Optical Receiver Modules

OSI Laser Diode, Inc.‘s (LDI) PINFET provides an excellent solution for optical receiver systems that require both high sensitivity and wide dynamic range. Applications include telecommunication line-terminating equipment or repeaters and optical sensor systems. The receiver package offers high reliability which satisfies Telcordia specifications.

The term “PINFET” (p-intrinsic-n, field-effect transistor) indicates the integration of a PIN photodiode and a discrete, high-performance transimpedance amplifier stage. Light is coupled into the detector stage through a multimode optical fiber pigtail, which allows excellent coupling with either singlemode or multimode fiber systems.
