Buying Phase Modulators

Top-level product category: optical modulators

More general product categories: optical modulators

Related product category: drive electronics for photonic components

Optical modulators can modulate the phase of a light beam. Electro-optic modulators are commonly used for this purpose, enabling precise control of the optical phase.

Aspects to Consider Before Buying

Some aspects to consider before buying phase modulators: modulation range, modulation bandwidth, insertion loss, wavelength range, thermal stability, damage threshold, open aperture, angular tolerance, polarization requirements, mounting options, packaging quality, requirements on electronic driver, environmental resilience.

For responsible purchase decisions, we recommend applying good practices.

phase modulators

Designed using state-of-the-art and proven lithium niobate technology, the MPZ-LN phase modulators are easy to operate and to integrate. Available at both 1550 nm and 1310 nm, with low insertion loss and high polarization extinction ratio, either AC and DC coupled for RAM and pyroelectrical effects control, these modulators offer the optimum for industrial Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems.

Exail near-infrared phase modulators NIR-MPX are a modulator family ranging from DC-coupled low-frequency modulators to wide bandwidths up to 30 GHz, requiring very low driving voltages and offering incomparable 300 mW optical powers handling capabilities. These products benefit from the technological mastery of the "Annealed Proton Exchange" (APE) waveguide manufacturing process. These modulators find a lot of interest in the laser application, such as Pound–Drever–Hall cavity locking as well as Spectral Beam Combining (SBC) and directed and high energy material processing lasers.

The optical spectral broadening ModBox-OSB can broaden an optical signal by modulating its phase with a very efficient LiNbO3 phase modulator. A number of sidebands are created over a spectral width that can reach several hundred GHz. The ModBox-OSB contains a single tone RF generator, a white noise source or a PRBS source. It well integrates into laser chains such as High Energy Lasers (HEL) lasers or Spectral Beam Combining lasers architectures (SBC).

phase modulators

Hamamatsu Photonics LCOS-SLMs are reflective spatial light phase modulators that freely modulate optical phases and optical phase of laser is modulated by the liquid crystal. Wavefront control of the light can be applied to optical beam photolithography, aberration correction.
