CODEON introduces 12.5 Gb/s optical modulator for fiber optic networks

June 27, 2001
June 27, 2001--CODEON Corporation, a designer and manufacturer of modulators, optical transponder components and modules for the fiber optic telecommunications industry, has launched production of its 12.5 Gb/s Intensity Modulator.

CODEON Corporation, a designer and manufacturer of modulators, optical transponder components and modules for the fiber optic telecommunications industry, has launched production of its 12.5 Gb/s Intensity Modulator.

CODEON's 12.5 Gb/s Intensity Modulator is part of their Mach-10 product line, a family of high performance, superior-quality and stability 10+ Gb/s modulators. The 12.5 Gb/s Intensity Modulator was specifically designed for customers requiring greater bandwidth to implement FEC (forward error correction). Increased bandwidth to 12.5 GHz at 3 dB down is critical to effectively implement advanced encoding schemes such as Super FEC and Digital Wrapper (G.709).

All CODEON modulators are made of lithium niobate, a material recognized for its superior performance compared to other materials, and are hermetically packaged an environmental and long-term reliability advantage not provided by all component manufacturers. In addition, CODEON's modulators feature low RF drive voltage, and long-term bias stability. With these benefits, the 12.5 Gb/s Intensity Modulator is well suited for system providers pursuing 10Gb/s system upgrades.

CODEON will be in booth 5653 at NFOEC, July 9-12 in Baltimore.
