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

SKU: LNML

This series of Lithium Niobate fiber optic modulators is designed for laboratory testing, featuring low operating voltage for easy use with a function generator as the driver. It includes a bias control section with an integrated micro-heater and optical power monitor, allowing manual bias adjustment by applying voltage to the heater while monitoring output intensity. An automatic bias control option is available, maintaining Vπ through slow-speed dithering feedback circuitry. The modulators use a Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure for optical output power modulation, and each modulator comes with field-replaceable RF input connectors for added convenience.
