The Lithium Niobate Modulators include three single-drive
modulators (2623N, 2623Y, 2623CS) and a single-drive modu-
lator with an integrated attenuator (2623CSA). All devices are
capable of modulation rates up to 10 Gbits/s.

10 Gbits/s Lithium Niobate
Electro-Optic Modulator
Data Sheet
November 2000
Description
The 10 Gbits/s Electro-Optic Modulator is designed for long-wavelength, single-mode external amplitude modula-
tion applications. It uses an integrated Mach-Zehnder configuration to convert single polarization CW light from a
semiconductor (DFB) laser into a time-varying optical output signal. Lucent also offers a 10 mW CW laser with
polarization-maintaining fiber (D2525P) to use as source for the modulator.
The Ti-diffusion process is a standard feature on all modulator devices. The 2623N, 2623Y, and 2623CS are sin-
gle-drive, 10 Gbits/s modulators; the 2623CSA is a single-drive, 10 Gbits/s modulator with an attenuating section.
Variable attenuation to >19 dB is achieved through a dc bias voltage.
The package is hermetic to protect the LiNbO
3
die from the environment. Novel processing techniques now make
it possible to achieve 20-year operation with little drift in the dc bias point. The modulator is tested to, and meets
the intent of TR-NWT-00468.
Other standard features include Panda-type polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) for the optical input (all codes)
and output (2623N, 2623Y, and 2623C) fiber with FC-type connectors that are keyed to the axis of polarization.
Custom designs are available.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Electrical Signal Input
Electrical signal input is made through SMA coaxial connectors. The standard device includes an internal termina-
tion network. Care must be taken not to exceed the recommended 8 in./lb. of torque when making connections to
these inputs. High-frequency coaxial cable is recommended.
