Description
To simulate and test long distance fiber optic communication lines, Brimrose has developed a fiber-coupled AO modulation system. The recirculating loop system consists of two fiber-coupled AO modulators/switches and a corresponding RF driver.
One of the AO modulators/switches is placed outside the loop to define the loading time and the second AOM is placed inside the loop to define the recirculating time or distance of the pulse transmission.
