The JDS Uniphase HA97C+18AFP1 is a fiber optic modulator module designed for high-speed optical transport systems. It integrates monolithically parallel Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulators with phase modulation capability, enabling spectrally efficient DQPSK transmission across metro, regional, and long-haul networks. The module operates with full-band tunable lasers in C or L band wavelengths and supports data rates from 10 Gb/s to 40 Gb/s depending on application requirements.
