Fiber optic modulator: a high speed intensity modulator and optical switch
Bernard Azout
Key Features:
- Lossless device
- High dynamic range : >48 dB
- Very low noise and stable signals
- High speed : down to 500 ps rise/fall time
- User design pulse shape (SOM-Shape only)
- High extinction ratio : >50 dB
- No wavelength evolution along the pulse duration : SOM maintain the narrow optical linewidth of an input CW signal while producing very short pulses.
