Description
The PDT range of products
includes a variety of connectorized PIN photodiodes designed
for wide operating temperature,
low cost applications such as
fiber in the loop. The planar
InGaAs photodiodes are manufactured using our MOVPE
growth technology and give low
leakage, high responsivity
performance with excellent
reliability.
The construction of the devices
includes a hermetically sealed
photodiode and is designed to be
compatible with the environmental requirements of the
Bellcore TA-TSY-000983
document.
The product range includes a
variety of pinout, connector type
and flange mounting options,
designed to match the majority of
offerings in the marketplace. If
the specific arrangement or
performance you require is not
listed, please contact HewlettPackard. Highly flexible design
and manufacturing processes
allow both physical and electrooptic customization to suit your
needs.

PDT Connectorized PIN Photodiode Specifications
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute maximum limits mean that no catastrophic damage will occur if the product is subjected to these
ratings for short periods, provided each limiting parameter is in isolation and all other parameters have
values within the performance specification. It should not be assumed that limiting values of more than one
parameter can be applied to the product at the same time.
