Photodiode Receivers

Unlike the VCSEL, a photodiode (PD) is a compound semiconductor element that changes optical signals to electric signals. The compound semiconductor-based PD has the ability to receive light as a high-speed communication detector and a highly sensitive sensor because of its unique characteristics that silicone does not possess. A PIN photodiode exhibits almost the same applications as a VCSEL and is applied to areas that include digital media, cars, IT, sensors, medicine and biology. 

Lasermate Group, Inc. offers various photodiodes: GaAs photodiodes, InGaAs photodiodes and Silicon photodiodes. Our photodiodes are highly sensitive and reliable for data communication and telecommunication applications. Our photodiodes are available in various package types, including PD chips, TO-can and connectorized LC/FC/SC/ST receptacle and pigtail.
