Description

The P172-type receiver consists of a PIN or APD coupled to a single-mode or multimode fiber pigtail and a linear preamplifier. Both the PIN and APD are rear-illuminated planar diode structures with a low-capacitance active area for maximum responsivity and speed.

This P172 incorporates the new Laser 2000 manufacturing process from the Optoelectronics Products unit of Agere Systems Inc. Laser 2000 is a low-cost platform that targets high-volume manufacturing and tight product distributions on all optical subassemblies. This platform of P172 incorporates an advanced optical design that is produced on Agere Systems' highly automated production lines. The Laser 2000 platform of P172 is qualified for central office and uncontrolled environments, and can be used for applications requiring high performance and low cost.
