The Optilab IM-1550-20-PM-1x2 is a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based  intensity modulator with differential optical output. Designed for optical C band wavelength, this modulator utilizes TI in-diffusion process to fabricate optical waveguide and directional coupler on an X-cut single crystal lithium niobate material. The integrated directional coupler with voltage-controlled coupling allows precise splitting ratio to create differential output with very low common mode. The input and output ports are pigtailed with PM fibers. Applications include digital transmission up to 25 Gb/s, analog RFoF transmission to 20 GHz, optical pulse generation, mode-locked fiber laser and microwave optical link.
