Description
The GKER Photonics 20-40 GHz Intensity Modulators (AM20 & AM40 Series) are designed for high-frequency analog applications, providing exceptional performance and reliability. Utilizing the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) architecture, these modulators offer a unique combination of high linearity, low drive voltage, and a compact footprint. With operational frequencies ranging from 20 GHz to beyond 40 GHz, the AM20 modulator covers the 20-30 GHz range, while the AM40 modulator extends beyond 30 GHz.
Engineered with X-Cut Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) and Titanium Indiffused Waveguides, these modulators ensure minimal signal degradation and optimal performance across the C+L-Band. The integrated monitor photodiode and polarizer, along with a zero-chirped modulator design, contribute to the modulators' superior efficiency.
Ideal for digital transmission, high-frequency fiber optic links, delay lines, and telemetry systems, these modulators meet the increasing demands of modern analog fiber optic communication. GKER Photonics' commitment to quality and customization allows for tailored solutions to meet specific customer requirements.
