Notes:
1. Bias free devices are intended to work with 0v DC on the RF/Data electrodes.
2. Value dependent on driver ckt design and/or measurement conditions. Consult JDS Uniphase Application Eng. for more information.
3. Max extinction ratio using 223-1 Pseudo-Random Bit Sequence (PRBS).
4. Voltage measured using high-impedance probe at RF/Data input.
