HP 83440B DC-6GHz Lightwave Converter

Product Summary

The HP 83440B features hermetically sealed, unamplified InGaAs photodiodes. Input port has universal optical interface that is compatible with most optical connectors (9/125 um fiber). Output ports have a precision 3.5 mm microwave coaxial connector. The HP 83440B Option 050 is terminated in 50 ohms to prevent reflections between the receiver's output and the filter's input to maintain the fourth-order Bessel-Thomson response.
