Description
The
10
Gbits/s
electro-optic
modulator
is
designed
for
long-wavelength,
single-mode
external
amplitude
modulation
applications
.
It
uses
an
integrated
Mach-
Zehnder
configuration
to
convert
single-polarization
CW
light
from
a semiconductor
(DFB)
laser
into
a
time-varying
optical
output
signal
.
Agere
Systems
also
offers
a 10
mW
CW
laser
with
polarization-main-
taining
fiber
(D2525P)
to
use as a source
for
the
modulator
.
The
Ti-diffusion
process
is
a
standard
feature
on
all
Agere
modulator devices
.
The
2646CSAT
consists
of
two
single-drive,
10
Gbits/s
modulators
with
an
atten-
uating
section
and
integrated
PIN
.
Variable
attenua-
tion to
>19
dB
is
achieved through
a do
bias
voltage,
and
the integrated
PIN
aids
in
bias
control
.
The
package
is
hermetic
to
protect
the
LiNb03
die
from
the
environment
.
Novel
processing techniques
nowmake
it
possible
to
achieve 20-year
operation
with
little
drift
in
the
do
bias
point
.
Other
standard
features
include
PANDA-type
polar-
ization-maintaining
fiber
(PMF)
for
the
optical
input
and
standard
single-mode
fiber
on
the
output
.
FC-
type
connectors
are
used
and
keyed
to
the
axis
of
polarization
.
