Bias controller Ultra Compact IQ Modulator Bias Controller
PlugTech Precision Systems modulator bias controller is specially designed for MachZehnder modulators to ensure a stable operation state in various operating environments. Based on its fully digitized signal processing method, the controller can provide ultra stable performance. An IQ modulator consists of three different modulators:I, Q arms are intensity modulators, P arm is a phase modulator. The IQ modulator is typically applied to coherent transmission systems. Plugtech Precision Systems’ modulator bias controller is specially designed for IQ modulators to ensure a stable operation state in various operating environments. The controller injects a low frequency, low amplitude dither signal together with a bias voltage into the modulator. It keeps reading the output from the modulator and determines the condition of the bias voltage and the related error. A compensate bias voltage will be applied afterwards according to the previous measurements. In this way, the IQ modulator is ensured to work under a proper bias voltage.
