P172 Overview
The P172-type receiver consists of a PIN or APD coupled to a single-mode or multimode fiber pigtail and a linear preamplifier. Both the PIN and APD are rear-illuminated planar diode structures with a low-capacitance active area for maximum responsivity and speed. This device incorporates the new Laser 2000 manufacturing process from the Optoelectronics Products unit of Agere Systems Inc.
