AFR high bandwidth zero-chirp F10 modulators are based on the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) architecture. They are manufactured using the highly reliable titanium indiffusion technology in X-Cut, Y-Propagating LiNbO3 substrates. The F10 is a single drive modulator designed for high bit rate advanced metro to long haul communication systems that requires the superior performance. The F10 modulator contains an integrated photo detector that may be used to set and lock the DC bias on the modulator as well as provide an estimate of the modulator output optical power.
The ClearCut pulse stretchers are chirped fiber bragg gratings for ultrafast fiber lasers. With AFR's ClearCut design and special process, the devices could provide large dispersion for pulse stretching and performance with outstanding reliability. Custom configurations are available.
AFR broadband phase modulator combines high linearity with low driving voltage and small footprint, covering frequency range from DC up to 8 GHz. The extended operating temperature range given by this series of phase modulators can operate at different environmental applications.
The PMIWDM series combines Filter WDM and isolator into a compact package to offer a cost saving solution. This device is ideal for fiber amplifier applications to combine signal and pump wavelengths with very stable 1550 nm signal isolation. It is designed and manufactured according to Telcordia standard.
The 2 μm Fused Wavelength Division Multiplexer combines or separates light at 1570 nm (800 nm) and 2000 nm windows. They offer very low insertion loss and excellent environmental stability.
