Description

Receiver Operation

The R768 40 Gbits/s fiber-optic receiver consists of a high-speed photodetector (PIN) and a wide-band linear preamp in a pigtailed surface-mount metal package with a single-ended V-connector. It is designed for use in single-mode, high-speed telecommunication applications at the SONET OC-768 and the ITU-T SDH STM-256 data rate of 42.5 Gbits/s.
