Quick Overview

The ID Photonics automatic bias controller (ABC) is designed to lock the operating point of Mach-Zehnder modulators to ensure stable optimal performance over time and environmental conditions.

  • Software configurable support of single & dual‐pol IQ or Intensity Mach Zehnder Modulators
  • No dependency on applied modulation format and RF amplitude
  • supporting all higher level modulation formats
  • No user tweaking for optimal setting required
  • Fast and simple switching between modulation formats
  • Zero Noise feature
  • No external Tap Photodiode required
  • Extremely wide dynamic range of feedback tap
  • Easy‐to‐Use GUI provided
  • USB, Ethernet & UART interface for remote control
  • SCPI Style remote control command set, LabView® drivers supplied

Applications

  • LiNbO3, InP, GaAs modulators
  • Generation of advanced modulation formats (QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM, …)
