AO Modulator

M040-8J-FxS

  • 1550nm fibre coupled

  • 40MHz frequency shift, 110ns rise-time

  • Polarisation insensitive with no PMD

Description

A fibre-coupled acousto-optic modulator and frequency shifter for use in telecommunications. Optimised for low insertion loss at 1550nm, the use of chalcogenide glass provides essentially no polarisation sensitive loss or polarization mode dispersion. Very high extinction ratio and rise-time make this device suitable for all-optical switching and re-routing applications.

 

In addition to the two fibre version, a three fibre model allows both zero and first order output beams to be utilised.
