Modulator

C-Band 10 GHz High Bandwidth Zero-Chirp LiNbO3 Intensity ModulatorF10

GKER high bandwidth Zero-Chirp modulators are based on the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer(MZI) architecture. They are manufactured using the highly reliable titanium indiffusion technology in X-Cut, Y-Propagating lithium-Niobate substrates.The F10 is a Zero-Chirped, X-Cut single drive modulator designed for high bit rate advanced metro to long haul communication systems that requires the superior performance of X-Cut   lithium niobite. The F10 modulator contains an integrated photo detector that may be used to set and lockthe DC bias on the modulator as well as provide an estimate of the modulator output optical power.
