Bias Controllers for Analog Modulators

Photline Technologies introduces the MBC-AN : a new family of Modulator Bias Controllers specially designed for analog applications. The MBC-AN are perfect controllers to stabilize analog modulators and 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, 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 analog applications such as RFoF, antenna remoting, radar links.

MBC-AN controllers match with all Photline Technologies analog modulators, they are the latest addition to the company product range in its search to offer comprehensive Optical Modulation Solutions.

About Photline Technologies:
