Description

The thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) phase modulator is an exceptional opto-electric converter device, which was developed in-house and showcased unparalleled performance. This device is manufactured using advanced coupling and micro-electronic processes and realizes high opto-electric conversion efficiency on TFLN. Compared to other commercial bulk lithium niobate-based modulators, our products provide superior characteristics on half-wave voltage, stability, and device size, significantly enhancing critical performance in digital optical communications and telecommunication networks.
