Modulator Bias Controller - Tunable
Description
The Modulator Bias Controller is a full-function miniature OEM version of the Modulator Bias Controller (MBC) family. It is designed for use in analog systems and applications. The Modulator Bias Controller enables locking the working point of the modulator at any desired position on the modulator working function.
It offers selectable locking modes and slopes through software control via the GUI. An optional pigtailed photodetector is available, and an external photodetector can also be used.
