Product description
ModBox - Plug and Play Modulation Solutions

The ModBox systems are a family of turnkey optical transmitters and external modulation benchtop units for both digital and analog transmission applications. The Modbox design integrates within an enclosure a laser source (optional), a complete modulation stage featuring an external LiNb03 modulator with its RF driver and bias control circuit, and a receiver stage (optional).

ModBoxes can be tailored to specific transmission needs in order to provide systems engineers with reliable performance and high speed modulation capabilities together with the peace of mind of a ready-to-plug equipment.
  • 12.5 Gb/s NRZ ModBox
  • 40 Gb/s NRZ ModBox
  • 40 Gb/s QPSK ModBox
  • Pulse generation ModBox
  • Spectral broadening ModBox
