• 1530 to 1565 nm operation; L-band versions available
• Low drive voltage; compatible with commercial drivers
• Low chirp for maximum transmission distance (>1000 km)
Applications
• Medium- and long-haul transmission
• DWDM and TDM transmission
Compliance
• Telcordia 468
The 2.5 Gb/s bias-ready modulator is a digital device in which the bias point of
the interferometer is set using an applied voltage, typically with a control loop, to
operate at the half-intensity point (quadrature). This design uses our x-cut
technology, which has been field-proven and provides the best stability in the bias
point over life. The device provides superior signal quality across a wide range of
wavelengths in the C and L bands and can be used to modulate tunable lasers. The
modulator is designed for medium- and long-haul transmission in dense
wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and time division multiplexing
(TDM) systems.
