Description
The GKER Photonics C-Band 10 GHz High Bandwidth Zero-Chirp LiNbO₃ Intensity Modulator (F10) is a cutting-edge solution designed for high-speed optical communication systems. Built using the highly reliable Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) architecture on an X-Cut, Y-Propagating lithium niobate substrate, this modulator provides exceptional performance for advanced metro to long-haul communication systems.
The F10 modulator features a Zero-Chirped design, enabling superior signal integrity at high bit rates of up to 12.5 Gb/s, making it ideal for external intensity modulation applications. Integrated with a monitor photodiode and polarizer, the F10 ensures accurate DC bias control and enhanced signal performance.
This modulator also offers a wide operating wavelength range from 1525 nm to 1570 nm, low insertion loss, and a high extinction ratio. The inclusion of a titanium-indiffused waveguide enhances the modulator's electro-optic bandwidth and ensures compliance with Telcordia GR-468-Core reliability standards. The hermetic packaging further ensures long-term stability and environmental resistance, making the F10 a robust choice for demanding optical networks and instrumentation applications.
