LiNbO₃ Intensity Modulator
LiNbO₃ Intensity Modulator
The LiNbO3 intensity modulator is manufactured by micro-electronics technology. Waveguides are produced by the annealed proton exchange (APE) process or the Ti-diffusion process, and can work in single-polarization or birefringence operation. With a traveling-wave electrode the modulator is ideally suited to high bandwidth operation at 1 GHz, 10 GHz, 20 GHz and up to 30 GHz, with highly reliable performance over a wide temperature range.
Features
- Separate bias electrode for long-term stability and reliability
- High modulation on/off extinction ratio
- Low drive voltage
- Low insertion loss
- Meets Telcordia GR-468-CORE requirement
Applications
- TDM and WDM transmit systems
- RF on fiber
- Long-haul transmission
- Quantum key distribution
