40 GHz Intensity Modulators for Analog Applications

Downloads   Datasheet
Description

These high performance integrated optical modulators have been specifically designed to target the market of civil and military transmission. Avanex broadband analog intensity modulators combine high linearity with low driving voltage and small footprint, covering all the frequency range from 20 to beyond 40 GHz (AM20: 20–30 GHz; AM40: >30 GHz). A customized 1300 nm version is available on request. The increasing demand to shift the transmission frequency in microwave fiber optic links towards higher frequency finds in Avanex analog modulators the most advanced and suitable answer. The experience and know-how of Avanex engineers is available to customize our products to the customer’s specific requirements.
