LMC10NEJ Datasheet, PDF (2/15 Pages) Bookham, Inc. – 10Gb/s Compact InP MZ Modulator with DWDM Laser

Data Sheet
Using the LMC10NEJ
The LMC10NEJ can be used in two ways:
Mode 1.
Dynamic MZ modulator arm DC bias control, the Power Tap and VOA can be used in a control loop to stabilise short term power
variation. The optical crossing point is tightly controlled.
Mode 2.
Fixed MZ modulator arm DC bias, the Power Tap and VOA can be used in a control loop to stabilise short term power variation.
Further details relating to modes 1 and 2 are given later in this data sheet.
