The Pump Protector is a micro optics device based on environmentally stable thin-film filter technology. It is used to block out unwanted noise signals in EDFAs and fiber laser systems. The components are characterized with high isolation, low insertion loss, high return loss, excellent environmental stability and high power handling capability.
AFR broadband analog intensity modulators combine high linearity with a low driving voltage and small footprint, covering the entire frequency range from 20 GHz to beyond 40 GHz (AM20-XT: 20 - 30 GHz; AM40-XT: More than 30 GHz). The AM-XT version provides an extended operating temperature range of - 55 to + 85°C for harsh environmental applications.
The High Power Polarization Insensitive Circulator is characterized with low insertion loss, high isolation, high power handling, high return loss. This circulator is ideal for fiber lasers and instrumentation applications.
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.
