Optical Modulators
The Thin Film Lithium Niobate Fiberoptic Modulators (TLNM) series offers a low driving voltage of 3.5V and broadband operation up to 110 GHz, delivering exceptional efficiency and performance over traditional Lithium Niobate modulators. Leveraging thin-film LiNbO₃ technology, its reduce size waveguides optimize RF-to-optical conversion, making it ideal for ultra-high-frequency electrical-to-optical applications. A built-in bias control section with a micro-heater and photodetector ensures stable optical biasing via advanced feedback circuitry. High-speed modulation is facilitated through an SMA connector, with bias control applied via pins, while an optional automatic bias controller provides enhanced stability. Custom designs are available to meet specific application needs. The device is based on traveling push-pull waveguide electrode design.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
70/100GHz Thin Film Lithium Niobate Fiber Optical Intensity Modulator – Low Vp: Optical modulation depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1520-1570nm, 1290-1340nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (PM1550, PM1310) must match the connected components. The 70GHz, 100GHz dynamic specification sets the usable control bandwidth.

Technical FAQ
Input Fiber: PM1550, PM1310 · Output Fiber: PM1550, SMF28e, PM1310. Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
Wavelength: 1520-1570nm, 1290-1340nm. Check the Optical Modulators passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
Auto Bias Controller: No, Yes. Match supply voltage, analog or digital command range, connector pinout and default optical state to the instrument interlock. Confirm the unpowered state explicitly — it decides what happens to the link on a power failure.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
