MBC-CHIP Chip-Size, Single-Function Modulator Bias Controller

Product information "MBC-CHIP Chip-Size, Single-Function Modulator Bias Controller"

Chip Style; Input Signal Current 0.8-80 µA; Typ. Locking Accuracy 1°; Bias Voltage -10-10 V; Pilot Tone Frequency 9.8 kHz; Dimensions 45.7x20.3x12.7 mm

OZ Optics’ MBC-CHIP chip-size modulator bias controller is a single-function, chip-size, OEM version of the MBC family of modulator bias controllers. It is designed especially for digital system applications. The small size of the board makes it easy to be integrated into the system.

This chip-size MBC is designed to lock the working point of the modulator at positive slope quadrature (quad+), negative slope quadrature (quad-), null or peak points of its characteristic curve respectively. The locking mode and slope has to be specified before ordering. The Chip size MBC is designed to use the built-in PD of the modulator but the user may also use an external PD by soldering it to the MBC-Chip.

Key Features:

  • Single-function Unit With Q+/Q-, Null/Peak Options
  • Low Profile: 45.7 x 20.3 x 12.7 mm
  • Access for External Photodetector
  • Input Signal Current: 0.8 µA to 80 µA
  • Locking Accuracy: 1° Typ., 3° Max.
  • DC Bias Voltage: -10 V to +10 V
  • Pilot Tone Frequency: 9.8 kHz
  • Pilot Tone Amplitude Range: 0 mV to 300 mV
  • VC DC Voltage: -10 V to +10 V

Applications: Modulator Bias Control in Digital Systems; Locking the Modulator’s Working Point at Positive Slope Quadrature (quad+), Negative Slope Quadrature (quad-), Null or Peak Points of its Characteristic Curve

RF Drivers
Compatible AO Device Deflector,Special Modulator,Tunable Filter,Fiber-Q,Frequency Shifter,Modulator,Q Switch; Operating Frequency 20-450 MHz; Max RF Power 0.4-125 W; Key Feature Programmable frequency, single channel DDS, multi-channel DDS, Fixed single frequency, 2 channel, fixed/variable pulse width, Fixed dual frequencies, Dual channel Ge AO devices, ultra-compact size An RF driver generates an RF signal that is used to generate the acoustic wave within the crystal of an AO device. The frequency and intensity of the applied RF signal will determine how much an optical beam is modulated, deflected or tuned. G&H offers a wide variety of stable high frequency drivers with analog and digital modulation capability, optimized by application. The variety of models include dual analog/digital operation as well as configurable firmware to accommodate functionality like triggering and temperature control without the need for new hardware. The OEM designs are optimized to each customer’s application, maximizing performance in the required form factor. The family of RF drivers can drive and control acousto-optic modulators, deflectors, cavity dumpers, fiber-coupled modulators, frequency shifters, mode lockers, multi-channel modulators, pulse pickers, q-switches as well as tunable filters. Fixed frequency drivers provide a single output frequency which is matched to the AO device. Offered from 24-440 MHz, fixed frequency drivers may be controlled via analog or TTL input, some with manually adjustable output RF power. These are used most often for modulation applications. Variable and programmable frequency RF drivers allow active control of output frequency. Voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) provide a linearly swept (variable) RF drive frequency and are flexible enough to be used for any AO device. Direct digital synthesizer (DDS) drivers offer programmable frequency. They can create random waveforms from a single, fixed-frequency reference clock and thus are ideal for pulse shaping and special functions. DDS drivers are software driven and can be run from a user-friendly interface (a GUI), or controlled directly via computer driver commands. G&H’s high-performance multi-frequency DDS drivers generate up to 8 channels of RF frequencies simultaneously. Dual Drivers allow simple or complex digital waveforms to be synthesized, converted to analog signals, and amplified to drive the AO device. This gives great flexibility; for example, it allows the driver to provide multiple programmable frequencies or to swap freely between multiple, complex, bespoke waveforms.Applications: Driving and Control of Acousto-Optic Devices Series Compatible AO Device Operating Frequency Max RF Power Operations Mode Key Feature Downloads 64020-200-2ADMDFS-A Deflector, Special Modulator, Tunable Filter 20 - 200 MHz 2.0 W N/A Programmable frequency; single channel DDS Datasheet 64020-250-1ADMDFS-A Deflector, Special Modulator, Tunable Filter 20 - 250 MHz 1.0 W N/A Programmable frequency; single channel DDS Datasheet 97-02925-32 Deflector, Tunable Filter 20 - 160 MHz 0.4 W N/A Programmable frequency; single channel DDS Datasheet 6000 Series Driver Deflector, Tunable Filter 50 - 450 MHz 15-20 W N/A N/A Datasheet 97-03926-12 Deflector, Tunable Filter 20 - 160 MHz 3.2 W N/A Programmable frequency; 8 channel DDS Datasheet 97-02910-xx Fiber-Q 80 - 200 MHz 2.5-3.0 W N/A Fixed single frequency; low power draw Datasheet 3307 series Fiber-Q, Frequency Shifter 80 - 350 MHz 1-4 W N/A Fixed single frequency Datasheet 3910 series Fiber-Q, Frequency Shifter, Modulator 80 - 350 MHz 0.5-8.0 W N/A Fixed single frequency Datasheet A35xxx-S-1/50-p4k7u Fiber-Q, Frequency Shifter, Modulator 40 - 300 MHz 0.5-5.0 W N/A Fixed single frequency; analog & digital modulation Datasheet MHPXXX-YYADM-A1 Fiber-Q, Modulator 24 - 260 MHz 2-20 W N/A Fixed single frequency   MCX0XX-Y.YZC-MINx Frequency Shifter, Modulator 40 - 80 MHz 0.5-2.5 W N/A Fixed single frequency; ultra-compact size   HP041-125ADG-A10 Modulator 40.68 MHZ 125 W N/A Fixed single frequency; Ge AO devices Driver HP040-060-150ADG-A10-2X Modulator 40/60 MHz 2 x75 W N/A Fixed dual frequencies; Dual channel Ge AO devices Driver Compact low power RF AOM and AOQS driver Modulator, Q Switch 24 - 110 MHz 2-24 W N/A Fixed single frequency; compact,low power; fixed/variable pulse width Datasheet MQH0XX-YYDM-ZZZ Modulator, Q Switch 24 - 80 MHz 25-100 W N/A Fixed single frequency; fixed/variable pulse width Driver MQH0XX-YYDM-ZZZ-2S Q Switch 24 - 80 MHz 25-50 W per channel N/A Fixed single frequency; 2 channel; fixed/variable pulse width Driver SD020-200-5UC-4x1 Tunable Filter 20 - 200 MHz 5.0 W N/A Programmable frequency; single or multi-channel DDS
