Laser Components launches the novel NIR-MPX800 series phase modulators from Photline Technologies that are ideal for various fiber sensors, interferometric-based sensors, frequency shifting, and quantum optics applications.
NIR-MPX800 Series Phase Modulators
With the advent of the company’s proton exchange waveguide technology, the near-infrared, low-insertion-loss, low-frequency to 10-GHz bandwidth modulators show high-constancy and power handling capabilities. The working efficiency comprises a 5-GHz electro-optical bandwidth having a 5-V drive voltage at 50 kHz, a 12-GHz electro-optical bandwidth containing a 7-V drive voltage at 50 kHz and a 150-MHz electro-optical bandwidth having a 2-V drive voltage at 50 kHz. All these units exhibit 4-dB insertion loss at 25 ºC on 850 nm.
The entire highest ratings encompasses 13-dBm optical input power, a 0 to 70 ºC working thermal range, a ±20-V modulation range and a -40 ºC to 85 ºC storage temperature.
High optical power range with a bandwidth of more than 10 GHz is the characteristic feature of this unique series. An optional airtight covering can be achieved with an additional 20-GHz series and with a 1060nm and 1300-nm band patterns.
