GigOptix leverages its legacy in broadband high-speed RF design to create low power and broadband drivers for Mach-Zehnder and Electro-Absorption (EA) modulators as well as limiting and linear Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIAs) spanning 10G, 40G and 100G speeds. Moreover, GigOptix's Thin Film Polymer on Silicon (TFPS) based LX modulator line offers compelling advantages in terms of increased bandwidth, smaller footprint and lower power consumption for 40G and 100G communications applications. GigOptix's proprietary materials are synthesized at the molecular level for optimal EO functionality. Our differentiated technology enables LX modulators to combine the fast switching speeds and low drive voltages with small form factor size.

TFPS Mach-Zehnder Modulators
|
GigOptix's Mach-Zehnder modulators are built using GigOptix’s proprietary Thin Film Polymer on Silicon (TFPS) Electro-Optic (EO) polymer based technology that offers compelling advantages in terms of increased bandwidth, smaller footprint and lower power consumption for 40G and 100G communications applications. GigOptix's TFPS materials are synthesized at the molecular level to deliver optimal EO performance. Our technology enables GigOptix modulators to combine fast switching speeds with low drive voltages and a small form factor. |
