Pigtail Fiber Optic Receivers
Description
Pigtail Fiber Optic Receivers are devices used at the end of an optical transmission link to interpret the information contained in an optical signal. They consist of a photodetector and various electronics that convert the optical signal into an electrical signal.
Working Principle
Pigtail Fiber Optic Receivers work by using a photodetector to sense the light signal that falls on it. The photodetector converts the variation of the optical power into a correspondingly varying electric current. This process is crucial because the optical signal is often weakened and distorted by the time it reaches the end of the fiber. The receiver must have high sensitivity to the emission wavelength range of the received light signal and add minimal noise to ensure accurate signal interpretation .
Applications
Pigtail Fiber Optic Receivers are used in various applications, including industrial control and factory automation. They are also employed in systems that require the extension of RS-232 and RS-485 signals, high voltage insulation, and the elimination of ground loops .
Advantages over other Fiber Optic Receivers
One advantage of Pigtail Fiber Optic Receivers is their ability to minimize space while providing dual connections with duplex connectors. This feature is particularly beneficial in applications where space is limited, and efficient connectivity is required .
