NIR-MX800-LN series
800 nm band 10 & 20 GHz Intensity Modulators
PHOTLINE MODULATOR
The Photline NIR-MX800-LN series are 10 GHz and 20 GHz intensity
modulators especially designed for operation in the 800 nm wavelength
band.
NIR-MX800 Mach-Zehnder modulators offer engineers working in the 800
nm band the intrinsec and unparalleled benefits of LiNbO3 modulation : high
bandwidth, high contrast and ease of use.
NIR-MX800 series Intensity Modulators use Ixblue proton exchange
waveguide process on a doped LiNbO3 substrat. This unique combination
confers them an unparalleled stability and a superior optical power handling.
FEATURES
• High Bandwidth
• X-cut for high stability
• High optical power handling
• Low drive voltage
• Low insertion loss
APPLICATIONS
• Quantum optics
• 850 nm 100 GbE testing
• Pulse generation / picking
