Optical receiver circuits

High-Speed PHY Design

high speed fiber optic transmitters and receivers give challenges also to electrical design on circuit board

FET input high speed light detector

converts current from a PIN photo diode to a voltage with bandwidth that extends beyond 50MHz

Broadband 5 MHz optical fiber receiver

simple broad band light detector that uses a very inexpensive IC and a PIN photodiode that is packaged for use with plastic optical fibers, bandwidth from 1KHz to over 5MHz

Broadaband 50 Mhz optical fiber receiver

circuit attaches a plastic fiber optic PIN photodiode assembly to a small box containing a small 3v battery and a standard standard BNC plug designed to be plugged into to the input of an oscilloscope with a 50 ohm termination resistor, can detect light p

Broad band 2mhz optical fiber receiver

If you need more sensitivity than the 5mhz circuit this circuit provides about ten times more gain. It too is designed around an inexpensive plastic optical fiber detector.

Broadband 2 Mhz optical fiber receiver

designed around an inexpensive plastic optical fiber detector and provides quite much gain

Broad band 5mhz optical fiber receiver

This circuit is a simple broad band light detector that uses a very inexpensive IC and a PIN photodiode
