The M-CB Modulator Bias Control Board is designed for maintaining the linear operating point of optical intensity modulators, specifically for Mach Zehnder Interferometer types. It features five bias setting modes: Q+, Q-, Min, Max, and Manual, allowing for versatile modulation formats including analog and pulse signals. The board operates on a single +5V DC power supply and utilizes an RS-485 control interface for multi-addressing capabilities. Key specifications include a dither frequency of 1 kHz, adjustable dither amplitude from 20 to 450 mVpp, and a bias output voltage of ¬±10 V. It supports modulator bias voltage inputs ranging from 1.5 to 8 V and has an operating temperature range of -10¬?C to +60¬?C. The compact dimensions of 85 mm x 27.5 mm x 17 mm make it suitable for OEM integration. The M-CB is equipped with an on-board InGaAs photodiode for feedback and an LED indicator for DC power status. This product is suitable for applications in RF signal distribution, satellite communication, and optical communications.
The M-CB is a compact bias control board designed to maintain the linear operating point of optical intensity modulators. Featuring a compact miniature design for OEM integration, the M-CB allows for a stable Q+, Q-, Min, Max, and Manual operation over long periods of time. With a single 5 VDC power and RS485 multi-addressing control and monitor interface, the M-CB unit is the ideal choice for industrial and OEM applications when paired with any of Newport’s optical modulators.
Compatible with Fiber Modulators
MKS offers two compatible products to the fiber-optic modulators. The F-AMP-SM is a general purpose EDFA (erbium doped fiber amplifier) pre-amplifier module and can be used together with the fiber-optic amplifiers to compensate the insertion loss. The M-CB bias control board is specifically designed to maintain the linear operating point of the fiber-optic intensity modulators.
