OZ Optics’ MBC-CHIP chip-size modulator bias controller is a single-function, chip-size, OEM version of the MBC family of modulator bias controllers. It is designed especially for digital system applications. The small size of the board makes it easy to be integrated into the system.

This chip-size MBC is designed to lock the working point of the modulator at positive slope quadrature (quad+), negative slope quadrature (quad-), null or peak points of its characteristic curve respectively. The locking mode and slope has to be specified before ordering. The Chip size MBC is designed to use the built-in PD of the modulator but the user may also use an external PD by soldering it to the MBC-Chip.
