iXBlue offers new models in the Photline Modbox series. The ModBox range is a family of reference sources for telecommunication, analogue (RFoF), and pulsed applications. They are user friendly turn-key instruments delivering state of the art performance. All ModBoxes are based on a high bandwidth LiNbO3 modulator, with an automatic bias control circuit and laser source and high performance RF drive electronics tailored to the application. The ModBox family has been extended with the addition of new models.
The Photline ModBox-850nm-NRZ and ModBox-OBand-NRZ series is now available with the option of adjusting the extinction ratio for vertical eye closure (VER option). These transmitters produce very clean, high quality eye diagrams at speeds up to 50 Gb/s.
A full stressed-eye option is now available on the ModBox-OBand-28Gb/s-NRZ-SE and ModBox-850nm-28Gb/s-NRZ-SE. These models allow variable magnitudes of stress to be applied in both horizontal (time) and vertical (optical power) eye axes (Stressed Eye).
The ModBox-VNA family has been extended to wavelengths, including 850 nm, in the O and C Bands. When associated with a Vector Network Analyser, they make up a high performance and easy to use test equipment for the characterisation of photoreceivers or any high speed optoelectronic device.
Other ModBox reference transmitters are available at 850 nm, in the O-band and C-Band and 1 µm region for telecommunication, analogue (RFoF), and pulsed applications.
