New from Photline Technologies is a complete family of 1064nm lithium niobate modulators.
The Photline proprietary ZPol technology allows the production of modulators that combine the benefits of standard z-cut and x-cut devices, including: low driving voltage (4V at 10Gbit/s); zero or predetermined chirp; and single electrode driving.
Devices produced using Photline ZPol technology are easier to integrate in systems and subsystems.
The single electrode dramatically simplifies drive circuitry and leads to significant cost reductions for users, both at the design and the production stages.
Together with the low drive voltage, the single driver contributes also to the power consumption reduction.
Last but not least, Photline z-poled technology allows the company to build components with predetermined fixed chirp, including zero chirp, which is a key feature for 10 and 40Gbit/s transmission systems.
A live demonstration of MZ-LN series modulators manufactured using Photline ZPol technology will be displayed on the Photline booth (500H) at the ECOC exhibition, together with the company's complete range of modulators.
