Thorlabs Modulator BIAS controller

Thorlabs' MBX Bias Controller provides complete and precise control of DC bias and optical output power for any fiber-coupled lithium niobate (LiNbO3) electro-optic intensity modulator, regardless of signal speed. The operational wavelength range of the MBX extends from 1250 nm to 1610 nm (O- through L-band), and the user may select from power calibration points at 1310 nm, 1550 nm, and 1590 nm. Whether operated in an R&D laboratory or manufacturing environment, this fully-featured modulator bias controller is ideal for use within a customized setup that uses an external laser, LiNbO3 intensity modulator, signal source, and RF amplifier.
