LMC10ZEG Datasheet, PDF (2/14 Pages) Bookham, Inc. – 10Gb/s Compact InP MZ Modulator with DWDM Laser

Data Sheet
Using the LMC10ZEG
The recommended operational conditions for the LMC10ZEG are as follows:
MZ modulator arm DC bias conditions are set at start of life (SOL), (dynamic MZ DC bias control loops are not required).
The VOA can be used in a control loop to set the start of life optical output power.
