10G Kitty Hawk: Transmitter*

Description:

Discovery’s optical 10 Gb/s transmitter generates on/off keyed (OOK) and differential phase-shift keyed (DPSK) signals. This stand-alone device includes a widely tunable laser, Mach-Zehnder modulators, driver amplifiers, and all the necessary control electronics. Options to include a cost-effective pattern generator are available. The transmitter allows users to choose between NRZ-OOK, RZ-OOK, NRZ-DPSK and RZ-DPSK. The transmitter supports data rates up to 12.5 Gb/s and provides a wavelength range of 1528-1567 nm.  It is a cost-effective match to Discovery’s Kitty Hawk Optical Coherent Receiver, which can detect 10 Gb/s OOK and DPSK.

Salient Features:

• Up to 12.5 Gb/s OOK or DPSK modulation
• NRZ or RZ pulse shape
• High extinction ratio
• With CW light source (DFB laser)
• Optional integrated low cost electrical pattern generator

Available Models:

• Kitty Hawk - 10 Gb/s DPSK/OOK Transmitter*
• Kitty Hawk - Optical Coherent TX/Rx System up to 10Gb/s
