Modulator Bias Control Board, 5 Mode

The M-CB is a compact bias control board designed to maintain the linear operating point of optical intensity modulators. Featuring a compact miniature design for OEM integration, the M-CB allows for a stable Q+, Q-, Min, Max, and Manual operation over long periods of time. With a single 5 VDC power and RS485 multi-addressing control and monitor interface, the M-CB unit is the ideal choice for industrial and OEM applications when paired with any of Newport’s optical modulators.
Compatible with Fiber Modulators
MKS offers two compatible products to the fiber-optic modulators. The F-AMP-SM is a general purpose EDFA (erbium doped fiber amplifier) pre-amplifier module and can be used together with the fiber-optic amplifiers to compensate the insertion loss. The M-CB bias control board is specifically designed to maintain the linear operating point of the fiber-optic intensity modulators.
