Optical Modulator Runs At 40 Gb/s

This lithium niobate electro-optic modulator operates at 40 Gb/s to let system designers meet the ever-increasing need to deliver more speed and capacity in leading-edge digital networks. Suitable for dense wavelength division multiplexed systems operating up to SONET OC-768 and SDH STM-256 rates, the device supports a wavelength range of 1525 to 1565 nm from a 6V supply. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C.
