1000nm强度调制器
The Photline NIR-MX-LN series are an intensity modulator especially designed for operation in the 1000 nm wavelength band.
This Mach-Zehnder modulator offers engineers working in the 1000 nm the intrinsic and unparalleled benefits of LiNbO3 external modulation : high bandwidth, high contrast up to 30 dB and beyond, ease of use. Thanks to iXBlue Technologies proprietary waveguide process, the NIR‑MX‑LN exhibits a stable behaviour and supports several tens mW of input optical power.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.
