The Optilab LMB-12 is a high performance Lightwave Modulator Board designed for analog photonics applications from DC to 12 GHz. This unit includes a 12 GHz optical intensity modulator and an Automatic Bias Control (ABC) board with four different operating modes. The external laser source can be any polarization maintaining device, such as tunable laser, narrow linewidth laser, making it a versatile solution for OEM-based system integration. The LMB-12 requires a single ±5 Volt DC power supply for operation. Contact Optilab for more information.
