The Optical Multi-Format Transmitter (OMFT) is a fully integrated optical front end instrument that converts differential electrical RF signals into an IQ modulated optical signal.
This powerful and leading-edge device provides excellent quality and matched channels optimized for next generation multi-level transmission formats at very high symbol rates. It is suitable as reference transmitter for receiver characterization or transmitter reference setup.
The unit comprises a Mach Zehnder-based optical modulator, RF amplifiers for connecting to Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG) or Pulse Pattern Generators (PPG), Automated Bias Control, and other critical technologies to ensure high repeatability and reliability of optimized optical signals.
This introduction video explains the fundamental operation of the transmitter, and highlights the exceptional performance at high baud rates.

Automated Bias Control Enables Easy High Stability Operation
The unique RF amplitude / modulation format independent automated BIAS control allows users to apply customized RF input signals without requiring manual tweaking of parameters and guaranteeing operation at the optimal operating point. This methodology enables full-time high-stability operation, especially when switching between modulation formats.
Ultra-Precise Automated BIAS Control
No dependency on applied modulation format and RF amplitude
No user tweaking required
Zero noise feature
Designed for Usability
A local touch Panel Display provides easy-to-use direct access to the unit. The remote control is possible via a built-in Webserver, eliminating the need for software installation on a remote PC and enabling any handheld device to access the unit via browser. An SCPI based programming API allows straightforward implementation of automated test scripting for complex and repeated operations.
