Data Sheet
10 Channel Mux/Demux with low-loss express;
100GHz Channels
Bookham offers a high performance 10 channel multiplexer or
demultiplexer solution for 100 GHz channels. This product
uses Bookham proprietary Advanced Energetic Disposition
(AED) thin film deposition technology for superior performance.
The Bookham 10 channel solutions offer an ideal combination
of fully passive operation, low loss, compact size, wide
channel pass bands and an upgrade path to 40 channels.
Insertion loss of <4.0dB is achieved in the uniform loss version
of the product. Matched mux-demux pairs are offered with
typical back-to-back insertion loss of 5dB. Ribbon connector
options are available for easy interconnection to the rest of the
system. Thin film technology provides a flat-topped pass band
design that allows for less stringent control of the laser
wavelength over the system lifetime.
These flexible upgrade modules use the Bookham 10-skip-0
banded upgrade port. The 10-skip-0 filter passes ten 100GHz
spaced channels to the ITU channel filters. The same filter
reflects all remaining channels onto the express port with very
low loss. Modules can be cascaded to form 20, 30, or 40
channel filter solutions. The 10 skip 0 banded port also
allows optical add drop multiplexing (OADM) functionality
for this module.
