70/100GHz Thin Film Lithium Niobate Fiber Optical Intensity Modulator – Low Vp

The Thin Film Lithium Niobate Fiberoptic Modulators (TLNM) series offers a low driving voltage of 3.5V and broadband operation up to 100 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.

System integration

Integration and compatibility

Use these checks to connect 70/100GHz Thin Film Lithium Niobate Fiber Optical Intensity Modulator – Low Vp to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.

Optical interface and fiber
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 and loss budget
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.
Control interface
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.
