The LL-780GI is an electrical-to-optical signal converter for

measurements or experiments. Simply connect the LL-780GI to

the output terminal of your electronic measuring system; e.g., a

function generator, a sweep generator, or a network analyzer.

If you do not need optical signal modulation, you can use the LL-

780GI without a modulation signal. In this case, the LL-780GI

works as a CW light source. The optical power of the CW light is

adjusted to provide 1 mW when you use a 50/125 GI type optical

fiber cable.

A single-mode laser diode is used in a LL-780GI, so sometimes

mode-hopping noise may be generated from the optical output.

If you want a very low noise CW optical signal, inject a high

frequency signal into the modulation input terminal.
