This product is equipped with a function for modulating the intensity of optical power
using external modulation signals. The modulations are classified as either low-
frequency or high-frequency according to the frequency band of the modulation signal.
■
6-5-1 Low-frequency Modulation
Modulating the intensity of optical power is performed at relatively low frequency from
DC to 400 kHz.
