90deg Hybrid With Balanced Receiver
This page describes one of Optoplex's innovated products, a 90deg optical hybrid integrated with balanced photo-receivers, which can be used in optical sensing applications, particularly the coherent Doppler wind LIDAR (light detection and ranging). Coherent detection has been widely found in applications for RF and optical communications. In the past few years, coherent technology has been advanced dramatically in high-speed optical communications. With this advancement, key parts and components are commercially available and cost-effective for many applications beyond telecommunications, such as narrow linewidth lasers, optical hybrid, balanced photo-receivers, and DSP, etc.
