PD8XX2 SERIES
InGaAs AVALANCHE PHOTO DIODES
PD8042, PD8932, PD893D2
DESCRIPTION
PD8XX2 Series are InGaAs avalanche photodiodes
which has a sensitive area of
φ50µm.
PD8XX2 is suitable for receiving the light having
a wavelength band of 1000 to 1600nm.
This photodiode features high-speed response and
a high responsivity, and is suitable for the
light receiving elements for optical fiber
communication systems.
