Santa Clara, CA. Celeritek, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLTK) announced today the availability of a new driver amplifier for external fiber optic modulators targeting high bandwidth applications. Celeritek s new wideband GaAs pre-driver amplifier is an excellent solution for external Lithium Niobate modulators. By providing more gain in the device, power consumption can be reduced as much as 75%.
"Data bandwidth continues to be the core focus for our fiber optic product strategy. As speeds continue to grow from 10 Gb/s to 40 Gb/s the CMM2030-BD will meet the demand for wide bandwidth, low power consuming components. The WideFiber(TM) product family, of which the CMM2030-BD is the latest, continues to grow," said Bill Hoppin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
The CMM2030-BD optical driver amplifier gives fiber optic system designers a unique combination of wideband frequency coverage and low DC power consumption, along with a flat response and very low internal jitter. It is a precision pHEMT GaAs RF IC medium power 23 dBm amplifier. It operates from 30 KHz to 32 GHz with a linear 11 dB gain response. Low internal jitter makes it especially well suited for high speed digital data applications. It is an excellent choice for driving Lithium Niobate external optical modulators, where a high extinction ratio is necessary.
Applications include both transmit and receive amplifier functions for high-speed OC-192 and OC-768 fiber optics. When used in as a driver amplifier with Celeritek s model CMM3020-BD amplifier, typical output voltage of 7.5 V peak-to-peak can be achieved. The bias voltage can be adjusted to reduce the output voltage as needed.
Samples of CMM2030-BD are available in gel pak packages. Celeritek s complete in-house manufacturing capability guarantees quality and reliability in each step of the production process. Volume quantities of 5,000 are priced at $90.00 per unit.
Celeritek designs and develops products using MESFET, pHEMT, and InGaP HBT GaAs processes tailored to support high capacity broadband wireless and fiber applications. Celeritek is a leading provider of GaAs based RF integrated circuits (RF ICs) for use in wireless voice and data applications. The Company s products are used worldwide by leading manufacturers of wireless communication systems.
