About this manual

The PD8XX2 series are InGaAs avalanche photodiodes with a 50 µm sensitive area, designed for optical fiber communication systems operating in the 1000‑1600 nm wavelength band. They offer low dark current, high responsivity, and fast response suitable for high‑speed receivers.

The datasheet lists absolute maximum ratings, electrical and optical characteristics, and safety guidelines. Key parameters include a breakdown voltage of 40‑90 V, dark current of 60‑100 nA, responsivity of 0.8 A/W at 1300 nm, and a cut‑off frequency up to 2.5 GHz. Handling precautions address the use of GaAs material and proper disposal as controlled industrial waste.
