ASOC(R) Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Multiplexer/Demultiplexer BKM-51000 Family Features As the demand for capacity continues to grow, DWDM solutions provide a fast route to increasing bandwidth. The ASOC Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) offers high performance multiplexing and demultiplexing products. The AWG function is to either combine different wavelengths into a single optical fibre, multiplexing, or separate the wavelengths that are transmitted from a single fibre, demultiplexing. The tightly controlled design of the AWG allows these devices to offer frequencies on and off the ITU grid with a channel spacing of 100GHz. Other channel spacings are available, for example 50 - 200GHz. Large channel count on ITU grid Low insertion loss Low polarisation sensitivity 100GHz channel spacing Exceptionally low optical crosstalk Integrated heater for temperature stabilisation High temperature stability Compact size Single-sided fibre access for minimal space consumption Applications WDM transmission Optical add/drop multiplexing Wavelength routing Optical cross-connect This AWG product is fabricated in silicon, using ASOC technology. The characteristics of ASOC enable very precise control during the manufacturing process, leading to excellent reproducibility. The AWG technology is a passive optical solution that uses no mechanical moving components. This provides high stability against mechanical shock and vibration. The device also offers good stability with respect to humidity.
