Resonant High Speed Fiber Optical Modulator: 5MHz Fixed Rate

SKU: NSRM

This NS Series fiber optic modulator features a fixed 5MHz modulation. The waveform is in sine format. This is achieved using our patented electro-optical configuration and operating at a fixed frequency with a built-in high Q resonant circuit. Unlike other modulators, we use special electro-optical crystals of high stability that increase power handling and reduce drift/darkening. Our NS fiber optic switches meet the most demanding switching requirements of continuous operations over 25 years and non-mechanical ultra-high reliability. The switch is intrinsically bidirectional and selectable for polarization-independent or polarization-maintain by the fiber type.
The modulation turns on by plugging in the accompanying DC power supply. No adjustment is required.
The rise/fall time is intrinsically related to the crystal properties, and the repetition rate is associated with the driver. There are poor frequency response sections due to the device resonances. The NS devices are shipped mounted on a tuned driver.
Our NS series switches respond to a control signal with any arbitrary timing with frequency from DC up to MHz. The switch is usually mounted on a tuned driver before shipping. The electrical power consumption is related to the repetition rate at which the switch is operated.
The dual-stage configuration increases the extinction ratio or cross-talk value.
