10 Gbits/s Lithium Niobate Electro-Optic Modulator

Data Sheet

May 2001

The Lithium Niobate Modulators include three single-drive

modulators (2623N, 2623Y, 2623CS) and a single-drive modula-

tor with an integrated attenuator (2623CSA). All devices are

capable of modulation rates up to 10 Gbits/s.
