Ultra-SFF Athermal AWG

  • Outline
  • Application
  • Features

Our precise fabrication realizes minimized PLC with ultra-high-index technology. A small form factor AWG module using the PLC realizes 1/5 of footprint compared with MSA-AWG module.

An Athermal AWG with a small form factor contributes to the power-saving and space-saving.

  • 100GHz Athermal AWG (2 in 1) module
  • 75GHz Athermal AWG (2 in 1) module
  • 50GHz Athermal AWG (2 in 1) module
  • Customizable channel spacing such as 50, 100 200 GHz
  • Customizable channel count
  • Low insertion Loss
  • Wide flat top filter shape
  • Small Chip size
  • High reliability due to silica-based planar lightwave circuits
  • Available 2-in-1 configuration
