GigOptix 100G TFPS modulator start of production

GigOptix recently announced that 100Gbps MZM series of products shipped to the European military / aerospace customers, LX8901 series is the use of GigOptix proprietary TFPS technology 100Gpbs DPSK MZ modulator. This device is unique in at a low driving voltage conditions can provide more than 65GHz bandwidth of light. LX8901 makes the field of microwave photonics a series of high frequency can be applied, such as remote antenna, RF beam, phased array radar, high frequency signal sampling and mixing, and those in the use of other modulation techniques, such as phosphate, lithium niobate crystal smoke is not applicable. The LX8901 compact shape and high bandwidth to make with aerospace and other military application requirements of the system solution possible. GigOptix Bothell general manager Eric Miller said, " we are glad to another TFPS modulator start of production to serve the military / aviation market. In addition, from recent shipments can be seen in new markets for our device is of interest, especially in microwave photonics, instrumentation and measurement, because the device high bandwidth in the super high speed condition to produce complex high fidelity signal.
