| Modulation: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Amplitude | The modulator is designed to vary the amplitude of a light beam. | ||
| Frequency | |||
| Phase | The modulator is designed to shift the phase of a light beam. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

|
| ||
| Aperture: | Largest aperture dimension for the modulator. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Wavelength Range: | The wavelength range the modulator is designed to operate in. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Rise Time: | In the approximation of a step function, the time required for a signal to change from a specified 10% to 90% of full power. Rise time is a way of expressing the speed of the modulator. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Insertion Loss: | The attenuation caused by the insertion of an optical component. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| |||
| Center Frequency: | |||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Modulation Bandwidth: | Sometimes referred to as Tuning Bandwidth or Video Bandwidth is the input (sinewave) modulation frequency at which the frequency deviation decreases to -3dB of its DC value. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

|
| ||
| Pigtail? | The modulator has a fiber pigtail attached. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Rack-Mountable? | The modulator can be rack mounted for convenience and efficiency. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Polarization Maintaining? | Polarization of the incoming signal is preserved. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Free Standing? | The modulator is a free standing device. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
Environment

|
| ||
| Operating Temperature: | This is the full required range of ambient operating temperature. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
