SIRU 3040: Fiber Optic Receiver

The Emcore Small Integrated Receiver Unit (SIRU3040) is a high-performance optical receiver with guaranteed performance over the 50 MHz to 40 GHz frequency band. The SIRU3040 is a fully integrated unit that contains both the high frequency photodiode and the control electronics. Only DC input voltages and the optical input signal are required for operation.

The unit can be used to construct transparent optical links for antenna remoting, microwave delay lines and other applications where it is necessary to transport RF and microwave signals over long distances without signal degradation.

The SIRU3040 is an ideal receiver to use with Emcore’s high-performance externally modulated fiber optic transmitters.
