RF Drivers and Modules

RF Drivers and Modules

The Photline Technologies family of RF connectorized modules includes drivers for modulators, RF amplifiers up to 40 GHz and specific modules such as D flip-flop and delay lines.

The modulator drivers are intended to feed modulators with an electrical signal exhibiting optimized peak-to-peak voltage, rise/fall time and jitter.

Specialty Modulators

Photline Technologies masters the entire chain of LiNbO3 modulators and offers specialty modulators for applications covering :

- fiber optics sensors
- instrument and industrial systems
- optical telecommunications
- space and defense applications

They can be developed upon customers specifications for wavelength from 780 nm to 2 microns.

  • Fiber Optics Gyros (FOGs) optical circuits
  • Imbalanced Mach-Zehnder Interferometers
  • Phase Modulators for Sensing
  • Co-packaged Modulator-Drivers

ModBoxes and Bias Controllers

ModBoxes and Bias Controllers

Photline Technologies bias controllers are designed to compensate the inherent drift of Mach-Zehnder modulators and lock their operating point so as to keep systems and lab set-ups at their top level performance.

ModBoxes are custom designed Modulation Units and Transmitters. They incorporate a complete and dedicated modulation stage with power supply and control electronics and optional laser source and receiver. ModBoxes can be taylored to accomodate a broad variety of applications : pulse generation, pulse picking, spectral broadening, analog modulation and all formats of digital communication.
