16 and 32 channel 150GHz AAWG for Coherent Telecommunications

16 and 32 channel 150GHz AAWG for Coherent Telecommunications

ACP’s Athermal AWG (AAWG) product takes silica-on-silicon planar technology and it is built with high performance and reliability, which can be used in general DWDM systems. Based on the athermal design and packing, it is totally passive product which does not require any electrical power or temperature control. For 100G AAWG Mux/Demux, it supports up to 48-CH based on a single chipset with Gaussian or Flattop profile as an option.

All AC Photonics' products are Telcordia qualification tested.

  • Wide Pass Band
  • High Channel Isolation
  • MUX and DEMUX Configuration
  • Flattop or Gaussian Profile
  • High Stability and Reliability
Applications
  • DWDM Network
  • Telecommunication
