All device specifications are at room temperature and at beginning of life. These devices are offered as limited production models. Telcordia qualification of this device is not planned at this time. 1. All measurements made at 23 °C unless otherwise noted. 2. Optical loss is measured at the maximum of the modulator’s transfer function and does not include the 3 dB loss incurred when operated at quadrature. 3. Vπ is specified at the modulator. Pπ is the power required to generate Vπ/2 at the connector. 4. Optimum distortion performance may require bias control. APE MICROWAVE ANALOG INTENSITY MODULATOR Ordering Information For more information on this or other products and their availability, please contact your local JDSU account manager or JDSU directly at 1-800-498-JDSU (5378) in North America and +800-5378-JDSU worldwide or via e-mail at customer.service@jdsu.com.
