Buying Telecom Receivers

Top-level product category: telecom

More general product categories: optical fiber communication systems and devices

Related product categories: optical data transmission systems, electronic dispersion compensation devices

Telecom receivers consist of fast photodetectors (e.g., photodiodes or MSM detectors) and associated electronics. They vary in operation wavelengths, maximum data rates, and required signal power levels. Some receivers include additional features like electronic dispersion compensation, enhancing their performance in complex communication systems.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Read our article on best practices for purchasing.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you draw up a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying telecom receivers. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

3. Find suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for telecom receivers. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research.
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

telecom receivers

Quantifi Photonics’ IQRX-1005 model is the world’s first commercially-available coherent receiver to enable coherent signal testing in the O-band, a new frontier for coherent optical communication. The IQRX is a high-bandwidth coherent optical receiver supporting single and dual-polarization for the measurement of coherent modulation formats such as QPSK and 64QAM, and enables optical modulation analysis such as EVM, constellation, and eye diagrams. The IQRX is also available in C/L-Band models.

telecom receivers

The CORX Coherent Optical Receiver is a turn-key instrument designed to interface with any real-time oscilloscope by providing 4 single-ended RF outputs. It allows the coherent detection of polarization-multiplexed optical signals in the C-Band (1525 nm to 1565 nm) by mixing the test signal with a built-in local laser oscillator. It is designed as a reference receiver for transmitter characterization and analysis of IQ modulated optical signals. Available with bandwidth options of 60 GHz, 40 GHz and 20 GHz, the CORX Coherent Optical Receiver enables the processing of terabit-class signals and baud rates beyond 120 Gbaud/s.
