Description
Coherent Solutions’ IQABC with its advanced ABC (Automatic Bias Control) algorithm, accurately and reliably controls and optimizes all the modulator bias points regardless of the modulation format or pattern. Now you just need to hit the AUTO button and focus on your research without worrying if your modulator is biased correctly.
Optimizing DC bias points of an IQ modulator is no trivial task. There are six different Mach-Zehnder structures inside one dual polarization IQ modulator, all simultaneously influencing the properties of a single
optical signal. Trying to optimize bias points using just the intensity measurement of the optical signal is time consuming, inaccurate and it requires a lot of knowledge and experience.
But worry no more, IQABC is here to help. With its robust and adaptive ABC algorithm, IQABC will take care of finding optimal bias points and maintaining optimization against any bias drifts or changes to the driving signal. So put IQABC to work and enjoy having a stable and reliable optical signal for all your testing and development needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Simply connect your OIF compliant IQ modulator to an IQABC modulator adaptor board and feed the modulator’s optical output to IQABC, then you are ready to go! IQABC starts to optimize the biases automatically upon start-up. It also comes with a feature complete control software, IQSignalManager, which is an intuitive and easy-to-use GUI.
IQABC optimizes the DC bias points of an IQ modulator, which is a non-trivial task due to the six different Mach-Zehnder structures inside one dual polarization IQ modulator, all simultaneously influencing the properties of a single optical signal.
IQABC is an Automatic Bias Controller for IQ modulators that accurately and reliably controls and optimizes all the modulator bias points regardless of the modulation format or pattern.
