LiNbO3 intensity modulator
The analog intensity modulators offered by HC Optical combine high linearity with low drive voltage and small package size, with bandwidths ranging from 20 GHz (AM20) to a wider 40 GHz (AM40). Due to the increasing bandwidth requirements in analog fiber transmission applications, LiNbO3(lithium niobate) intensity modulators for high-bandwidth analog applications from HC Optical can meet higher-end requirements and provide more suitable solutions. Our experience also allows us to provide customized services to our customers.
