IF-D98: Plastic Fiber Optic 155 Mbps Photologic Detectors

The IF-D98 is a very 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-D98 extends from 400 to 1050 nm, making it compatible with a wide range of LED and laser diode sources. The detector package features an internal micro-lens, and a precision-molded PBT housing ensures efficient optical coupling with standard 1000µm core plastic fiber cable.

Application Highlights

The fast transition times of the IF-D98 make it suitable for high-speed digital data links. Link distances in excess of 75 meters at data rates of 155 Mpbs are possible using standard 1000µm core plastic fiber and an IF-E99 LED. The integrated design of the IF-D98 provides simple, cost-effective implementation in a variety of digital applications.
