Albis Optoelectronics introduces new product line of photodiode modules

At the upcoming ECOC 2023 exhibition in Glasgow, Albis Optoelectronics will present the PM Series – its newly introduced photodiode module product line. The PM modules are a series of self- contained, ready-to-use, high-speed photodiode modules for direct optical- to-electrical conversion of RF-modulated optical signals. All modules are LiPo battery powered and USB-C chargeable with a conventional 5V phone charger. The series include a variety of modules with bandwidths from 10 GHz to 30 GHz, available with single-mode or multi-mode fiber. The photodiodes inside the

All photodiode products are manufactured in-house in Albis’ dedicated clean-room facilities in Rüschlikon, Switzerland. Product highlights include: PIN photodiodes for 10G, 28G, 56G and 112G digital and analog receivers; high power photodiodes and packaged photodetectors; low bias APDs for 2.5G and 10G OLT/ONUs; 28G APDs for 28 Gbaud PAM-4 and 100GBASE-ER4 applications; side-illuminated monitor diodes and monitor diode arrays; photodiodes with integrated lenses and optical filters; hermetically packaged, short and long-wavelength microwave photodetectors up to 40 GHz.

modules are high- performance Albis p-i-n photodiodes, designed to operate over a wide wavelength range from 800 to 1620nm. Albis Optoelectronics is a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of high-

speed photodiodes. Since 20 years, the Swiss company offers the broadest portfolio of Telcordia qualified InP and GaAs photodiodes for datacom and telecom applications in the industry.

Hamamatsu Photonics has developed an optical transceiver P16671-01AS that achieves fiber-optic communications at a data transmission speed of 1.25 Gbps.

Compared to other optical link products whose maximum data transmission speed is 150 Mbps, the P16671-01AS offers a significantly higher speed. For short- distance board-to-board communication within the equipment, it is usable with inexpensive plastic optical fiber achieving high-speed data communication at a low cost. Also, using it along with hard plastic clad fibers or large-

connector assemblies for connecting to optical fibers. Unlike our current transmitter photo ICs that use a LED as the light emitter, the P16671- 01AS optical transceiver uses a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) that operates at higher speeds to further increase the data

transmission speed. It also uses a high-

speed light sensor and a signal processing IC that maximizes the light sensor characteristics, which were designed in-house. Practical applications of the P16671-01AS include short-distance board-to-board communications using POF in equipment such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment, scientific and laboratory instruments, and

diameter glass optical fibers extends the data

transmission distance up to 100 meters making it ideal for setting up a network or communicating between devices or equipment. It consists of an optical transmitter for converting electrical signals into optical signals, an optical receiver for converting optical signals into electrical signals, and lens/

medium-to-long distance communication and networking between equipment is possible up to distances of 100 meters. www.hamamatsu.com
