IF-D97: Plastic Fiber Optic 50 Mbps Photologic Detectors

The IF-D97 is a high-speed photologic detector housed in a "connector-less" style plastic fiber optic package. The detector contains an IC with a photodiode, linear amplifier and Schmitt trigger featuring an ACT logic compatible totem pole output. Optical response of the IF-D97 extends from 400 to 1050 nm, making it compatible with a wide range of visible and IR LED and laser diode sources. 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 transition times of the IF-D97 make it suitable for medium-speed digital data links. Link distances in excess of 75 meters at data rates of 50 Mbps are possible using standard 1000µm core plastic fiber and an IF-E98 LED. The integrated design of the IF-D97 provides simple, cost-effective implementation in a wide variety of digital applications.
