IQ Muiti-Format Transmitter

The Optical Multi-Format Transmitter (OMFT) is a fully integrated optical frontend instrument that  converts electrical RF signals into an IQ modulated optical signal.

At 40GHz bandwidth, this device provides unparalleled signal fidelity for rtesaerch in next generation multi-level transmission formats even at high symbol rates of 64GBaud/s. It is suitable as reference transmitter for receiver characterization or transmitter reference setup.

The unit is easily interfaces to Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG) and Pulse Pattern Generators (PPG).

 The unique RF amplitude / modulation format independent automated BIAS control allows users to apply customized RF input signals without requiring manual tweaking of parameters and guaranteeing operation at the optimal operating point. This enables long-term stable operation and automated switching between modulation formats.

A unique zero noise feature provides optimal and repeatable performance.
