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:

Photline Technologies is a leading supplier of optical modulation solutions based on the company lithium niobate (LiNb03) modulators and RF electronic modules. Photline Technologies serves the markets of telecommunication, defense and aerospace, sensing and instruments, research.

The company is privately owned and employs 30 people in Besancon and Paris, France.
