Symmetrical InGaAs photodetectors, also referred to as balanced detectors, are used in fiber-optic applications in optical coherence tomography and fiber sensor technology. Mach Zehnder interferometers are also available with integrated symmetrical detectors. Available in AC and DC coupled versions, with mounted InGaAs photodiodes or without photodiodes, the PD100B is ideal for applications such as Optical Coherence. high-speed photodetector module for for > 1 T/bs coherent telecom applications High-speed balanced photodetector modules are of interest for the development of next-generation telecom coherent optical communication links. Since these R&D links are always a step ahead in terms of symbol rates. SIMTRUM's high speed balanced optical detection module integrates two matching photodiodes with high speed response, which effectively reduces laser noise and common mode noise, improves the system's signal-to-noise ratio, and has low noise, high gain, and easy to use.
