Optical Modulators
The LNPM is a high-performance, fiber-coupled phase modulator with operating frequencies ranging from DC to 10 GHz, covering the C-band wavelength. It is constructed using optical waveguides on X-cut LiNbO₃ material and is coupled with polarization-maintaining input and output fibers. We offer two versions of low frequency 10MHz and high frequency 10GHz. Note: This component is intended for OEM system integration and is not designed for standalone laboratory use. Units supplied without a protective benchtop enclosure are provided without warranty, as they are susceptible to damage from improper handling, installation, or operation.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
Fiber Optical Phase Modulator 1550nm – 10GHz: Optical modulation depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1525 - 1570nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (PM1550) must match the connected components. The 10GHz, 5GHz, 10MHz dynamic specification sets the usable control bandwidth.
Fiber Optical Phase Modulator 1550nm – 10GHz: Time-resolved measurement depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1525 - 1570nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (PM1550) must match the connected components. The 10GHz, 5GHz, 10MHz dynamic specification sets the usable control bandwidth.

Technical FAQ
Input Fiber: PM1550 · Output Fiber: SM28, PM1550. 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: 1525 - 1570nm. 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.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
