Bias Controllers for Analogue Modulators

22 Feb 2013

Photline Technologies are pleased to introduce the MBC-AN series, a new family of modulator bias controllers especially designed for analogue applications. The MBC-AN series are perfect controllers to stabilise analogue modulators and to ensure a stable operation over time and environmental conditions when a high purity optical carrier is required.

Modulator bias controllers are used to lock the operating point of Mach-Zehnder modulators. They are necessary to compensate for the drift caused by aging and changes in environmental conditions. Unlike classical dither signal based bias controllers, the MBC-AN-series do not superimpose any tone signal to the optical modulated signal. They are designed to lock the operating point of modulators for applications where such a tone signal is not desired and typically for analogue applications such as RFoF, remote antenna and radar links.

MBC-AN controllers are compatible with all Photline Technologies analogue modulators, and they are the latest addition to the our product range.
