Description

Oclaro intensity Modulators are based on the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer architecture. They are Manufactured using the highly reliable Titanium indiffusion technology in X-cut, ypropagating Lithium Niobate substrates. this 10 GB/s - 12.5 GB/s Modulator is designed for high bit rate advanced Metro to Long Haul communication Systems that requires the superior performance of x-cut Lithium Niobate. Exceptionally Low drive voltage enables low power consumption reducing the overall transmitter Cost.

A small footprint and low profile makes the modulator compatible with the 10 GB/s MSA Transponder Standard. A single Tx board design can accommodate either the zero-chirp or the Fixed chirp modulator version. Suitable driver amplifiers are available through Oclaro recommended partners.
