3 Extinction Ratio (ER) / Contrast Modulator choice Extinction ratio applies only to intensity modulators, and characterizes the efficiency of the modulator to Transmit in ON state and broke light when in OFF state. OFF state ON state ON state MAX At the MIN point, all the light is diffracted out, no light will be guided by the output optical fiber. P opt ER 1 0,9 0,8 0,7 0,6 0,5 0,4 0,3 Vπ 1 At the MAX point, all the input power (mins Insertion Loss) will be transmitted to the output fiber. Optical Output V Applied Voltage MIN OFF state 0,2 0,1 0 MIN LiNb0 3 intensity modulators are Mach-Zehnder waveguide interferometers, whose transfer function is a sine curve. Modulation Curve Linear scale Optical Signal For Pulse application, - working point is fixed at the MIN (MBC necessity), - applied pulse are modulation voltage equal Vπ (driver necessity). MIN Point Electrical Signal

5 Modulator Bias Controller MBC is a bias controller specially designed to stabilize the operating point of LiNb0 3 Mach-Zehnder modulators by monitoring the bias voltage applied on the DC electrodes of the devices. MBC is absolutely necessary for pulse application. MBC A Mach-Zehnder modulator is illuminated by a laser at the optical input. The pulse-datas are applied to the RF electrodes. At the output of the MZ modulator, a fiber coupler with a strong imbalance (10:90 or 1:99) allows to detect a small portion of the transmitted light with a monitoring photodiode. The signal is amplified and processed in order to control the stability of the operating point. Any deviation is compensated by a new value of the electrical bias voltage applied by the feedback loop in order to maintain the operating point at the desired position. MBC controllers lock any modulators at the MIN point of its transfer function.

6 1 DR-PL-10-LR/HR : dedicated amplifier for Pulse application The DR-PL-10 is a modulator driver for pulse application, factory optimized to fit with end user repetition rate and pulse width. 0,9 0,8 0,7 0,6 Vπ 1 0,5 0,4 0,3 Pulse width P opt 0,2 0, MIN 0 0 Repetition Rate RF Driver boosts the electrical input signal (coming from Pulse generator or TTL signal). The Driver is recommended in order to: - reach Vπ amplitude and get modulator ER, - guaranty stabilized input modulator voltage whatever the FRR and PW generated from the Pulse generator. - compensate pulse distortion involved by the modulator (and reach very square pulse shape).

MBC-PD-1001: Customized Pre-programmed OEM electronic board MBC-WDM: Up to 5 modulators bias controlled (up to 20 with the 19" version) MBC controllers are dither signal based : a small amplitude, low frequency tone signal is superimposed to the modulation signal. The resulting optical modulation is then detected and a digital signal processing based on a FFT analysis principle allows to lock the operating point at the desired position.
