Optical Modulators
This is a high-gain, low-noise 3-stage amplifier delivering 7 Vp-p output across a broad frequency range of 30 kHz to 45 GHz. It is a general-purpose broadband driver amplifier optimized for Mach-Zehnder optical modulator applications, offering low power dissipation, high drive capability, very low added jitter, and fast rise time. The amplifier requires a 12 V DC power supply at 300 mA and features a GPPO male connector. A compatible power supply is included for user convenience.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
Ultrabroadband RF Amplifier Dual Stage 30kHz-45GHz: Optical modulation depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path.. The fiber/interface entry (GPPO, 2.92mm) must match the connected components. The 30kHz dynamic specification sets the usable control bandwidth.
Ultrabroadband RF Amplifier Dual Stage 30kHz-45GHz: Time-resolved measurement depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path.. The fiber/interface entry (GPPO, 2.92mm) must match the connected components. The 30kHz dynamic specification sets the usable control bandwidth.
