Key Features

  • An SOM (semiconductor optical modulator) utilizes an integrated SOA (semiconductor optical amplifier) operating in a fast-pulse mode as a light modulator; this new approach results in a higher performance fiber optic modulator.
  • HOW IT WORKS: A CW laser source (customer supplied) is used as the input to the SOM unit. An SOA is integrated in the SOM-STD unit along with the pulsing control electronics. The current driving the internal SOA is operated in a high repetition rate pulsed mode. The result is a fiber optic modulator which offers multiple advantages over traditional modulator technologies such as an AOM or an EOM.

Product Overview

The SOM Series High Performance Fiber Optic Modulator:

The SOM-STD is a high performance alternative to an AOM or an EOM fiber modulator. An SOM (semiconductor optical modulator) utilizes an integrated SOA (semiconductor optical amplifier) operating in a fast-pulse mode as a light modulator. This new approach results in a higher performance fiber optic modulator. A CW laser diode source is used as the input to the SOA. The SOA is integrated in the SOM unit along with the pulsing control electronics. The current driving the SOA is operated in a high repetition rate pulsed mode. The result is a fiber optic modulator which offers multiple advantages over traditional modulator technologies such as an AOM or an EOM. These units can be configured for wavelengths from 750 nm to 1700 nm. They offer a lossless, high extinction ratio and highly polarized modulator solution.

The “SOM” Semiconductor Optical Modulator:

Here are a few of the many advantages an SOM offers relative to an AOM, EOM or directly pulsed laser diode modulator solution:

  • The dynamic range of an SOM is higher than that of an EOM or an AOM. An AOM / EOM is typically limited to 48 dB with a high extinction ratio > ~ 50 dB
  • An SOM has no polarization rotation dependencies, whereas both an EOM and an AOM typically are highly susceptible to polarization dependencies
  • The spectrum of an SOM remains the same along the entire pulse, whereas when directly pulsing a laser diode, the user must consider the undesirable spectral effects which can occur from coupling of the frequency/phase spectrum and intensity profile
  • The SOM is the only commercially available solution which also functions as an optical isolator for the laser input source
