Low residual amplitude modulator phase modulator
LASER COMPONENTS had introduced a range of phase modulators especially designed to operate in the 1,000nm wavelength band. The NIR-MPX series uses a proton exchanged based waveguide process that gives them an unparalleled stability even when operating at high optical power.
The NIR-MPX phase modulators come with high PER and low IL options. They feature a high input optical power (25dBm) along with a low Vpi, typically 1.5V.
The NIR-MPX-LN-0.1 phase modulator has become the reference component for many applications involving lasers such as spectrum broadening for suppression of the stimulated Brillouin back scattering effect (SBS), Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) and coherent laser beam combining (CBC) techniques. One of the key parameters determining the performance of the modulation is the residual amplitude modulation (RAM).
The NIR-MPX-LN-0.1 phase modulator combined with its matching RF driver DR-VE-0.1-MO can be specified with an exceptional 30dB of RAM
