MPX2000 / MPZ2000 series

2 µm band low frequencies to 12 GHz Phase Modulators

PHOTLINE MODULATOR

The Photline MPX2000 and MPZ2000 are phase modulators speciallydesigned for phase modulation in the 2.0 µm wavelength band from lowfrequencies to 10 GHz and above. The MPX/MPZ2000 incorporate 2.0 µm
specific waveguides and are pigtailed with 2.0 µm polarization maintaining
fibers.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional
operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure
to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.
