20/40GHz Thin Film Lithium Niobate Fiber Optical Intensity Modulators – Low Vp

SKU: TLNM

The Thin Film Lithium Niobate Fiberoptic Modulators (TLNM) series offers advantageous features such as a low driving voltage of 3.5V and broadband high speed of up to 60GHz. These improvements over the traditional Lithium Niobate Fiberoptic Modulators are achieved by more efficient smaller and shorter waveguides made possible by thin film LiNbO3. Its low operating voltage makes it more efficient to convert RF signal into optical and convenient to use a function generator as the driver for laboratory applications. It has a bias control section that integrates with a micron heater, a photodetector for feedback control that maintains a constant optical bias point. The high-speed modulation control is through an SMA connector, and the bias control is through pins. An automatic bias control module is also available that maintains the bias point and Vp via a slow-speed feedback circuitry. Custom special design is also available.
