SHF 46121 A Optical Transmitter

Published: Feb. 29, 2016

Our family of compact low cost instruments has been extended to include the SHF 46121 A C-band only optical transmitter. Compared to the earlier release SHF 46120 A, the new module supports higher speeds up to 50 Gbps in ASK and 32 GBaud PAM4 mode. This is realised by utilizing a different modulator which only works in C-band.
