New 800G Photodetectors by Albis Optoelectronics
At the upcoming OFC 2024 exhibition in San Diego, Albis Optoelectronics will be presenting its latest products for next-generation optical communications and sensing. PD50Y4 is a 4-channel photodiode array specifically designed for 112 Gbaud PAM-4 / 800GbE applications. This monolithic array features integrated backside lenses for easy optical alignment and has a channel pitch of 500 µm. The topside solderable pads are optimized for flip-chip soldering processes using AuSn or SAC305. Another product added recently to the ultra high- speed product line is PD40F8, a topside illuminated 8-channel photodiode array optimized for 56 Gbaud PAM-4 (800GBASE- DR) applications. The compact photodiode array chip has a channel pitch of 250 µm.
Both designs are available in ample quantities and meet Telcordia GR-468 requirements. Additionally, Albis Optoelectronics just released the PD05S1, a high quantum efficiency photodiode chip ideal for monitoring and sensing in LiDAR and quantum
communication applications. The
photodiode has very low dark current and targets a 95% quantum efficiency. Albis Optoelectronics

Bulgin’s new expanded beam fibre optic connector technology
Bulgin – a leading manufacturer of environmentally sealed connectors and components – has recently launched a patented new expanded beam fibre optic connector and cable management system. This technology – which is now available in the 5000 Series Expanded Beam Connector – is the result of a two-year project to produce a low-cost, sustainable expanded beam product suitable for a wide range of industries. Expanded beam fibre optic connectors are typically used in applications where it is important
unique ferrule-lens alignment technology in combination with a cable management system to prevent twisting of the optical fibres. This revolutionary solution allows the rapid termination and repair of cables in the field, making the 5000 Series Expanded Beam Connector suitable for harsh environment applications, including military communications, mining, oil and gas, and broadcasting. It is particularly suited to temporary fibre optic set-ups that need to be quickly assembled and dismantled, such as concert venues and sports stadiums. For more information, visit www.bulgin.com
cables are critical to minimize light loss and ensure efficient transmission of the signal through the connector. Bulgin’s patented technology offers a
to reduce the impact of dirt or contamination when joining two fibre optic cables. Accurate alignment of ferrules and minimal twisting of fibre optic
