Electro-optic Modulators
Standard Products
Polariton designs and delivers cutting-edge electro-optic modulators (EOMs) that push the boundaries of speed and performance. These power next-generation applications in communications, test & measurement, and quantum technologies by providing support in un-precedented regimes, enabling the next communication standard, and offering a trade-off between optical loss and signal-to-noise.
In communications, they enable high-speed data transmission with optimized modulation speed and signal-to-noise ratio. For test & measurement, they provide precise signal encoding in the analog domain, allowing limitless combinations in time and frequency for advanced waveform analysis. In quantum technologies, they deliver ultra-stable, high-extinction optical pulses to manipulate the quantum states of ions, atoms, and quantum dots with extreme accuracy.
Our portfolio includes a diverse range of electro-optic products, from high-bandwidth modulators to advanced transceiver components, ensuring seamless integration into next-generation photonic systems. Whether you require packaged (module) or unpackaged solutions, we provide tailored options to meet your specific application needs.
