Description
The Super Modulator Bias Controller (MBC-SUPER) is a compact and full-function miniature OEM version of the Modulator Bias Controller (MBC) family. It is designed for locking the working point of a modulator at various points on its characteristic curve, including positive slope quadrature (quad+), negative slope quadrature (quad-), null, or peak. With selectable locking modes and slopes through a GUI interface,
it offers precise control and improved performance. The MBC-SUPER also features a pulse mode for accurate null locking, making it suitable for dense pulse applications. It includes a pigtailed photo-detector and supports external photo-detectors. The digital technique reduces noise and pilot tone amplitude, enhancing overall performance.
