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 Bandpass Filter 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. These components are characterized with high isolation, low insertion loss, high return loss, excellent environmental stability and high power handling capability.
AFR’s High Power Fiber to Free-Space Isolator (HPFSI) is the best choice for high power industrial pulse fiber lasers. With unique, patented technology, the power handling capacity was elevated to 500 W average laser power, and with very competitive cost-effectiveness.
The 1064 nm In-Line Polarizer is designed to pass light with one specific polarization while blocking the other polarization. It can be used to convert unpolarized light into polarized light with high extinction ratio. It can also be used to enhance the extinction ratio of signals with its excellent polarization properties. It is ideal for high speed communication systems and test instruments where high polarization extinction ratio is required.
