Drivers/Amplifiers

Driver/amplifier modules amplify high-speed modulation signals to drive optical modulators used in optical communications. There are two categories of drivers/amplifiers: linear amplifiers, and limiting amplifiers. Linear amplifiers amplify the input signal at a fixed ratio and the output level is proportional to the input level. Conversely, with a limiting amplifier, when the input level exceeds a certain level, the output level is limited to a fixed level and amplified.
