All device specifications are at room temperature and at beginning of life. These devices are offered as limited production models. Telcordia qualification of this device is not planned at this time. 1. All measurements made at 23 °C unless otherwise noted. 2. Optical loss is measured at the maximum of the modulator’s transfer function and does not include the 3 dB loss incurred when operated at quadrature. 3. Vπ is specified at the modulator. Pπ is the power required to generate Vπ/2 at the connector. 4. Optimum distortion performance may require bias control.
