Purchasing advisor for phase modulators with supplier directory and AI-based advice; optical phase modulation, electro-optic modulators (original) (raw)
Find all you need for professional sourcing of phase modulators: a comprehensive expert-curated directory of suppliers, scientific and technical background information, and an interactive AI-based tool with guidance for a structured decision process.
NEW: Not only hardware can be listed here, but also consulting, software, training on phase modulators, etc. – see the "offer types" below.
🌐 You appear to be visiting from North America. Many listed suppliers are based in this region, making the RP Photonics Buyer's Guide highly relevant for your needs.
Purchasing high-value photonics products is a substantial responsibility. Using a structured decision-making process and high quality supplier data helps a lot:
- Find all relevant suppliers (not limited to advertisers).
- Our interactive tool conveniently assists you in defining and applying your application-specific requirements.
Note that purchasing decisions based on just a few randomly picked suppliers and without carefully defined specifications are risky; therefore, we strongly recommend using our data and tool. See also:
- How Responsible Purchase Decisions for Expensive Goods Like Lasers Are Done
- Explanations on this purchasing tool
Go through the process:
1. Understand the technical background
2. Define your requirements
It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you purchase.
We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:
To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying phase modulators. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.
This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.
I think that I am sufficiently informed about our requirements.
Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.
I consider the above list of specifications to be sufficiently complete, clear and accurate.
If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.
Insert these criteria when creating inquiry mails to suppliers with the buttons "Get quotation".
You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".
3. Find suitable suppliers
We suggest three steps:
- Below, you can find our list of suppliers for phase modulators. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
- The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
- Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.
Selected suppliers:

Decision
The most suitable supplier you found:
Comments, e.g. reasons for your choice, or things which still need to be checked:
4. Document the decision process
It is essential to document your purchasing process, not only its result (chosen supplier):
- You will find it easier next time.
- If something goes wrong, you can defend your decision by showing that you properly considered all important aspects. Or you see what needs to be done better next time.
Our interactive tool makes it easy: Fill out the form, and in the end print it to a PDF. Note that the document will show all sections (including those not currently shown on the screen), while omitting some irrelevant details such as the page navigation.
Suppliers for Phase Modulators
17 suppliers for phase modulators are listed in the RP Photonics Buyer's Guide, out of which three present their product descriptions and images. Both manufacturers and distributors can be registered.
 Lasers, Optics, Electronics. Made in Germany. ALPHALAS GmbHBertha-von-Suttner-Str. 537085 GöttingenGermany |
⚙ hardware Using KTP, RTP and LiNbO3 crystals, ALPHALAS offers phase modulators for various applications like active mode locking, side-frequency generation and laser resonator cavity control. In addition to the standard products designed for 1064 nm, other customer-specific wavelengths can be offered as well. Product-specific web page |

 Exail (formerly iXblue)34, Rue de la Croix de Fer78100 Saint Germain-en-LayeFranceSee us at Photonics West 2026 in San Francisco, Jan. 20–22 (booth 5039)! |
⚙ hardware Designed using state-of-the-art and proven lithium niobate technology, the MPZ-LN phase modulators are easy to operate and to integrate. Available at both 1550 nm and 1310 nm, with low insertion loss and high polarization extinction ratio, either AC and DC coupled for RAM and pyroelectrical effects control, these modulators offer the optimum for industrial Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems. Exail near-infrared phase modulators NIR-MPX are a modulator family ranging from DC-coupled low-frequency modulators to wide bandwidths up to 30 GHz, requiring very low driving voltages and offering incomparable 300 mW optical powers handling capabilities. These products benefit from the technological mastery of the "Annealed Proton Exchange" (APE) waveguide manufacturing process. These modulators find a lot of interest in the laser application, such as Pound–Drever–Hall cavity locking as well as Spectral Beam Combining (SBC) and directed and high energy material processing lasers. The optical spectral broadening ModBox-OSB can broaden an optical signal by modulating its phase with a very efficient LiNbO3 phase modulator. A number of sidebands are created over a spectral width that can reach several hundred GHz. The ModBox-OSB contains a single tone RF generator, a white noise source or a PRBS source. It well integrates into laser chains such as High Energy Lasers (HEL) lasers or Spectral Beam Combining lasers architectures (SBC). Product-specific web page |
