RZ Optical Transmitters
 |
PriTel’s RZT Series of RZ Optical Transmitters are easy-to-use, cost-effective sources of patterned optical data at 10 Gbps and higher. The RZT-10 Model combines in one unit the optical clock function of PriTel's UOC fiber laser with an embedded data modulator to convert external 10-Gbps patterned RF data into 10-Gbps patterned optical data. Embedding the data modulator enhances stability of the patterned optical data and reduces the part count.
Model RZT-40 adds PriTel's Optical Clock Multiplier Model OCM-4 to the RZT-10 to convert the 10-Gbps RZ optical output into 40-Gbps RZ optical data. Model RZT-160 adds PriTel's Model OCM-16 and Model PMFA-15 amplifier to the RZT-10 to achieve 160-Gbps RZ optical data.
RZT Optical Transmitters can be operated in a clock mode by removing the RF data stream. Normal operation of the RZT Series requires an external RF synthesizer or clock, supplied by the customer.
