Bookham Technology 10CH 100GHz DEMUX

Bookham Technology 100GHz 10 Channel Demux with low-loss express

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 100 GHz 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 form20, 30, or 40 channel filter solutions. The 10 skip 0 banded port also allows optical add drop multiplexing (OADM) functionality for this module.
