PHOTONIS’ New Optical Receiver Features:
Fast Optical Signals
PHOTONIS’ new Optical Receiver is a high speed
optical detector that is suitable for fast optical
signals in the green to ultra-violet spectral range.
High Data Rate
The number of gain stages is set to provide output
levels suitable for communication signals at very
high data rates.
Low Power Module
The inclusion of a high voltage power supply allows
operation by application of only 12 volts input. High
speed signal output is supplied by 50 ohm cable
with an SMA connector.
