Buying Telecom Transmitters

Top-level product category: icon telecom

More general product categories: optical fiber communication systems and devices

Related product category: optical data transmission systems

Optical transmitters for telecom signals include light sources such as laser diodes or LEDs for multimode operation. These transmitters differ in maximum data rates, average power levels, and modulation formats, providing tailored solutions for various optical communication requirements.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying telecom transmitters. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for telecom transmitters. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

telecom transmitters

Our Optical Multi-Format Transmitter (OMFT) is built for researchers who require high signal fidelity for the generation of dual polarization IQ signals. Today, with up to 60 GHz bandwidth, it supports next-generation multi-level transmission formats such as M-QAM, M-PSK and custom modulation formats at symbol rates beyond 100 Gbaud/s for the generation of signals in the terabit/s regime. Our in-house developed Automatic Bias Controller (ABC) takes the complexity out of bias control. It automatically sets and maintains the optimal operating point for Mach-Zehnder modulators, ensuring consistent performance over time and conditions.
