400G Lithium Niobate Modulator
Description
The Oclaro 400G Lithium Niobate external modulator is explicitly designed to enable 400G and beyond speeds on a single wavelength or carrier. This modulator is a high electro-optic bandwidth Polarization Multiplexed Quad Parallel Mach-Zehnder (PM-QMZ) that integrates into a hermetic package an input beam splitter, four parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators configured for I-Q modulation, a polarization combiner, and monitor photodiodes for power and bias control.
Applications
Coherent links at 400G on single carrier
Features
3dB electro-optic bandwidth exceeding 35GHz
Very smooth optical response up to 50GHz enabling a symbol rate of up to 64Gbaud
Extinction ratio above 25dB to enable complex modulation formats
Insertion loss below 13dB for high efficiency
