Fiber-Optic Intensity Modulator, 10 GHz, 1550 nm

The Newport M-APE-I-1550-10 is a 10 GHz Intensity Modulator that is manufactured with Annealed Proton Exchange(APE) process, it features a zero-chirp design and Polarization Maintaining(PM) fiber output. M-APE-I-1550-10 features 10 GHz E/O bandwidth, a highly linear transfer function and excellent extinction ratio. Applications include digital transmission up to 12.5 Gb/s, analog RFoF transmission to 10 GHz, optical pulse generation, modelocked fiber laser and microwave optical link. The M-APE-I-1550-10 is compatible with a wide variety of modulator drivers, and a separate bias port allows the modulator to operate at specific points of the transfer function. The M-APE-I-1550-10 Modulator is designed for external modulation of 1550 nm laser up to 10 GHz or 12.5 Gb/s. It is also applicable for pulse generation for Master Oscillator Power Amplifier(MOPA) configuration. Due to proprietary APE technology, M-APE-I-1550-10 can handle up to 100mW input optical power. It has a wide operating temperature tolerance ranging from -30ºC to +70ºC.
