10GHz Lithium Niobate Waveguide Fiber Optical Intensity Modulator – Low Cost

SKU: LNML

This series of Lithium Niobate fiber optic modulators employs a Mach–Zehnder interferometer structure for precise optical power modulation with low drive voltage. Each modulator integrates a bias control section featuring a built-in micro-heater and optical power monitor, enabling bias adjustment by applying voltage to the heater while monitoring output intensity for optimal performance. An optional automatic bias control (ABC) version is available, utilizing slow-speed feedback circuitry to maintain the optimal bias point and compensate for DC drift. When the ABC option is selected, the modulator is mounted on a PCB, and its automatic control performance is fully tested prior to delivery.
The device is based on traveling push-pull waveguide electrode design. We offer mounting the device on an automatic bias control PCB option for convenient application.
