10-12.5 Gb/s Intensity Modulator - Low Drive Voltage

Downloads   Datasheet
Description

Oclaro intensity modulators are based on the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer architecture. They are manufactured using the highly reliable Titanium indiffusion technology in x-cut, y-propagating Lithium Niobate substrates. This 10 Gb/s - 12.5 Gb/s Modulator is designed for high bit rate Long Haul communication systems that requires the superior performance of x-cut Lithium Niobate. Exceptionally low drive voltage enables low power consumption, reducing the overall transmitter cost. A small footprint and low profile makes the modulator compatible with the 10 Gb/s MSA Transponder standard. A single Tx board design can accommodate either the zero-chirp or the fixed chirp modulator version.
