Fast wavelength modulation
Differential input When configured as an input, the Wavelength+/- interface can be connected to a
differential signal with an amplitude up to 2x 5 Vpp as shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10 Differential input signal for wavelength modulation
Note: To prevent noise being induced that could create undesired phase noise, it
is recommended to disable the wavelength modulation setting when it is not in
use.
Single-ended to
differential
The circuit shown in Figure 11 is an example of how to generate a differential
signal from a single-ended input. In this example, a 5 Vpp single-ended input
signal with a 0 V common-mode voltage generates a 2x 5 Vpp differential signal
with a 2.5 V common mode voltage.

If a differential signal is not available, a single-ended signal as shown in Figure 12
can be applied to the Wavelength+ input. In this case, connect Wavelength- to
