Dual Port Modulator Bias Controller
Description
The MBC-DUAL-BIAS Modulator Bias Controller from OZ Optics is a compact, OEM version of the Modulator Bias Controller (MBC) family. Designed specifically for Dual-DC-Bias MZ modulators, this controller ensures high extinction ratio operation through null locking mode, making it ideal for applications in analog systems.
The controller offers two modes: calibration mode for quick system setup and locking mode for precise modulation control. It also features a pulse mode that allows for more accurate null locking in pulse-based applications.
With a low-profile design (2.53" x 2.57" x 0.65") and access for an external photo-detector, the MBC-DUAL-BIAS is versatile and easy to integrate into existing systems. It is suitable for optical wavelengths ranging from 1000–1650 nm, and its null mode extinction ratio of 52 dB ensures optimal performance. This controller is engineered to provide reliable, high-precision modulation for advanced optical applications.
