SHF 47100B
O/E Conversion ModuleDescription
The SHF 47100B is a module which converts optical signals with a bit rate up to 50 Gbps into
electrical signals. Broadband RZ and NRZ operation is possible and the wide output dynamic
range combined with excellent pulse behaviour makes the device ideal for OEM applications andoptical system research. The compact design of the SHF 47100B broadband optical ASK receiveris well suited for system prototyping. Combined with the excellent output signal quality, the highconversion gain of 170 mV / mW offers very good optical sensitivity. The built-in power monitor
output can be used to measure the optical input power of the receiver.
