Fiber Optic Detector

The OPF472 is a low noise silicon PIN photodiode mounted in a low cost package for fiber optic applications. It offers fast response at moderate bias and is compatible with LED and laser diode sources in the 800-1000 nm wavelength region. Low capacitance improves signal to noise performance in typical short haul LAN applications.
The OPF472 is designed to be compatible with multimode optical fibers from 50/125 to 200/300 microns.
