At Liobate, we focus on pushing the boundaries of thin-film lithium niobate technology to enhance the capabilities of EO combs in precision frequency metrology. Liobate technologies enable the design and fabrication of electro-optic modulators with ultra-low insertion loss and high modulation speed. Our approach allows us to produce EO combs that deliver highly stable and controllable frequency lines, critical for applications in next-generation optical communication, quantum research, and Lidar systems. By integrating high-performance modulators into EO comb setups, we ensure that both researchers and industrial clients can achieve consistent measurement accuracy. Our 1.6T/800G ZR Coherent PDMIQ with a 3dB bandwidth of 70 GHz, differential half-wave voltage below 4.5 V, and insertion loss under 7 dB exemplifies the precision we provide.
Enhancing Comb Stability and Bandwidth
Comb stability is a key factor in precision frequency metrology. Liobate technologies allow us to minimize noise and maintain high DC extinction ratios, exceeding 25 dB in our devices. By carefully optimizing the EO modulation parameters, we reduce sideband distortions and maintain uniform power distribution across comb lines. Our team leverages proprietary thin-film lithium niobate modulators to achieve wide modulation bandwidth, enabling high-speed measurements required for 400G, 800G, and even 1.6T optical links. The precise control provided by Liobate EO modulators ensures that frequency combs can be synchronized accurately with reference oscillators, improving overall measurement confidence.
Integration with Advanced Photonic Systems
Integration is another crucial aspect for EO comb optimization. At Liobate, we offer seamless integration solutions for photonic systems, including optical modulators compatible with coherent detection setups. The 1.6T/800G ZR Coherent PDMIQ has been designed with insertion loss below 7 dB and high modulation efficiency, ensuring minimal signal degradation when incorporated into complex photonic circuits. By combining low half-wave voltage and high DC extinction ratio, our EO comb solutions maintain signal integrity while supporting advanced frequency metrology applications. Researchers and engineers benefit from a plug-and-play experience that simplifies experimentation without compromising performance.
