1550 nm, 20 GHz, Compact Intensity Modulator, PM Output, Low Drive

The intensity modulator is designed for TDM and WDM up to 25 Gb/s transmission, and can also be incorporated for analog modulation of up to 15 GHz for satellite links, antenna remoting, and RF over fiber. The very low bias drift property of this modulator enables a stabilized operation when a simple automatic bias controller circuit is used. It has an operating temperature tolerance ranging from -30°C to +60°C, and superior insertion loss provides for its maximum transmission power. The modulator uses a Polarization Maintaining (PM) input and output fiber, and features separate RF and bias ports.
