## Function

Performs high-speed, wide-bandwidth optical-to-electrical conversion with high linearity and robust high optical power handling. Operates up to 22 GHz, delivering a low-noise electrical output proportional to incident optical power for precision RF/microwave photonic link characterization and test applications.

## Platform

Operates on benchtop laboratory environments requiring stable optical test setups, integrates with RF spectrum analyzers and network analyzers through coaxial SMA connectors, interfaces with high-power optical sources including fiber lasers and amplified photodiode systems, connects to oscilloscopes for time-domain measurements, compatible with optical fiber coupling systems and precision optical mounts, requires DC bias supplies and RF measurement equipment, designed for optical communication test beds, photonic integrated circuit characterization platforms, and high-frequency optoelectronic research applications where broadband photodetection up to millimeter-wave frequencies is critical.

## Application

Characterization of high-speed optical transmitters, modulators, and other photonic components in R&D and production test environments. Suitable for high dynamic range analog applications such as radio-over-fiber (RFoF) links, antenna remoting, and optical delay line systems. Also employed in coherent communication systems and for detecting high-frequency pulsed laser signals requiring high-fidelity O/E conversion up to 22 GHz.
