Covega, Thorlabs’ Quantum Electronics Division - Zero-Chirp Intensity Modulator with Integrated PD

Print Print
See Product Details

Designed for integration into 300 pin MSA compatible transponders, Covega's Mach-10TM Zero-Chirp Intensity Modulator is ideal for metro and long-haul DWDM applications requiring less than a 2 dB power penalty for +/-1,200 ps/nm dispersion.

The Mach-10TM with Integrated Photodetector was designed for customers seeking small form-factor modulators with increased bandwidth for FEC implementation; supporting data rates from 9.953 Gb/s to 12.5 Gb/s and is based on Titanium-indiffused x-cut Lithium Niobate and uses a Mach-Zehnder interferometric architecture.The integrated photodetector can be used for optical power monitoring and modulator bias control, eliminating the need for an external fiber tap and splicing.

The extremely small footprint and low profile make it ideal for customers seeking to reduce the size of their current 300 pin MSA compatible metro or long-haul transponder platforms. The Zero-Chirp Intensity Modulator with Integrated Photodetector is a single-ended drive configuration.

Applications:

  • High-Speed Data Communications
    • SONET OC-192 Interfaces
    • SDH STM-64 Interfaces
    • WDM transmission at +10 Gb/s

  • Undersea Communications
  • Internet Router Interfaces
  • High-speed test equipment

Features:

  • Superior Frequency Performance
  • Small Size – 300 pin MSA Transponder Compatible Footprint
  • Low Drive Voltage
  • Long-Term Bias Stability
  • Hermetic Packaging - High Reliability - Telcordia GR-468 Compliant
  • Integrated Photodetector
