Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the improvement of the stability of an electro-optic modulator obtained from its temperature control. A digital system based on PSOC microcontroller and a small power amplifier has been developed. The behavior of the modulator can be observed by the way of its nonlinear properties. Thanks to the improved thermal stability, it is possible to reduce significantly the drift of the electro-optic modulator.
