Data Sheet
40 Channel Mux/Demux with 100GHz Channels
Bookham offers a high performance 40 channel multiplexer or
demultiplexer solution for 100 GHz channels. This product
uses Bookham proprietary Advanced Energetic Deposition
(AED) thin film technology for superior performance.
Features:
• Passive operation
• Flat pass band design
The Bookham 40 channel solutions offer an ideal combination
of fully passive operation, low loss, compact size, and wide
channel pass bands. The Bookham thin film technology
provides a completely passive, flat-topped pass band design
that allows for less stringent control of the laser wavelength
over the system lifetime as well as a wider pass band than
AWG technology for better filter shape through cascading
architectures. Typical loss of 4dB 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. The
135x81x22mm size allows this part to be used in compact
assemblies. Ribbon connector options are available for easy
interconnection to the rest of the system.
