Pigtail Integrated InGaAs PIN
Photodiode Array
PIPA Series
Product Description
Oplink’s Pigtail Integrated Photodiode Array (PIPA) is a compact, multi-channel
power-monitoring device. It increases module design flexibility and efficiency
by significantly reducing the number of assembly components and facilitating
fiber management.
Easily mounted on a PCB, Oplink’s standard 12/14-pin package provides pow-
er monitoring for up to ten channels. Applications include DWDM chan-
nel power monitoring, optical network switching/protection monitoring, re-
configurable optical add/drop multiplexers, and gain/attenuation monitoring in
amplifier systems.
Oplink can provide customized designs to meet specialized feature applica-
tions. Also, Oplink offers modular assemblies that integrate other components
to form a full function module or subsystem.
