APD10F1
10 Gb/s Topside Illuminated APD
APD10F1 is a topside illuminated, high speed avalanche photodiode (APD) chip with a large dual pad layout allowing placement of multiple wire bonds on one pad.
Key strengths of this innovative APD are its low excess noise resulting in receiver sensitivities of -34.5 dBm @ BER 5e-5 with a simultaneous -31.0 dBm @ BER 1e-12 when used with an appropriate TIA.
The APD is optimized for single-mode 10GBASE-ER as well as XG-PON / XGS-PON applications. It can be operated at a low bias voltage of typically 30 V and has an excellent gain-bandwidth product of 90 GHz.
