10GHz LiNbO3 Modulator Driver, Single Channel, Max. 7.5Vpp, Wide Band Amplifier, EVK-RF-A-10-21-M
DESCRIPTION
The optical modulator driver provides a high-quality, single-ended voltage to drive an external laser modulator. Typical applications include driving EML, EAM, and Mach-Zehnder style modulators. It amplifies up to 12.5 Gb/s data input signals to >+7.5 Vpp drive levels. The flat gain and flat group delay response yield a high quality, low-jitter electrical drive signal.
FEATURES
Low power, 3.5W, and low jitter
3dB bandwidth, 10GHz; Up to 12.5Gbps
Tunable Amplitude, 2.0~ 7.5Vpp
Turnkey EVB, single power supply, DC12V
APPLICATIONS
EML, EA, MZM Driver, Modulation Fomat OOK/ BPSK/DPSK/NRZ/RZ/Pulse
Microwave Photonics
Pulse generator and amplifier
