IF-D91: Plastic Fiber Optic Photodiode

The IF-D91 is a high-speed photodiode detector housed in a "connectorless" style plastic fiber optic package. Optical response of the IF-D91 extends from 400 to 1100 mm, making it compatible with a wide range of visible and near-infrared LED and laser diode sources. This includes 650 nm visible red LEDs used for optimum transmission in PMMA plastic optic fiber. The detector package features an internal micro-lens and a precision-molded PBT housing to ensure efficient optical coupling with standard 1000µm core plastic fiber cable.

Application Highlights

The fast response times of the IF-D91 make it suitable for high-speed digital data links. When used with an appropriate LED or laser diode source the IF-D91 is capable of 100 Mbps data rates. The IF-D91 also can be used in analog video links with bandwidths up to 70 MHz. The integrated design of the IF-D91 provides simple, cost-effective implementation in a variety of analog and digital applications.
