100G PicoMetrix CR-100D Coherent receiver
The PicoMetrix CR-100D 100Gbps DPQPSK polarization-maintaining coherent receiver integrates a demodulator, balanced detectors and bandwidth adjustment in an ultracompact package, supporting DP-QPSK in 100Gbps/200Gbps coherent systems. The PicoMetrix CR-100D 100Gbps PM-QPSK polarization-maintaining coherent receiver integrates an optical hybrid and balanced detectors in an ultracompact package, supporting DP-QPSK in 100Gbps/200Gbps coherent systems. 100Gbps Coherent DP-QPSK Receiver, PicoMetrix CR-100D, PBS and 90Deg. Hybrid Integrated The coherent receiver module CR-100D consists of an integrated polarization beam splitter and four balanced photo-receivers monolithically integrated with optical 90° hybrids. The receiver is a fully differential optical front-end suited for 100 Gbit/s DP-QPSK applications featuring high linearity and high common mode rejection ratio. The optical 90° hybrids demodulate the I/Q incident signal for each respective polarization state using external reference oscillator laser sources. The mixing products are detected by PIN-photodiodes and amplified by trans-impedance amplifiers (TIA) with linear transfer characteristics.
