High Speed Variable Optical Attenuator
The Lightwaves2020’s high-speed Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) is based on novel optical material offering fast response in µs, in contrast with conventional LC-based VOAwith speed in ms. The dramatic increase in response speed enables the new VOA suitable for demanding 40Gbs applications. An optional driver-PCB, on which the VOA is mounted, is provided. The device…
High Speed Tunable Filter
The Lightwaves2020 Fiber-Optics High Speed Tunable Filter is a tunable optical filter to choose specified wavelength over certain range. The wavelength tuning is achieved by applying a control voltage. The typical wavelength scanning frequency is > 1kHz.
Linear Variable Filter
The Thin-film based tunable filter is an ideal candidate for telecom application, especially for DWDM system, on account of its low insertion loss, flat-top transmission spectrum, and excellent thermal stability.
4-/8-Channel Optical Power Monitor Array (OPMA)
Lightwaves2020′s multi-Channel Optical Power Monitor Array (OPMA) is designed for multi-channel optical power monitoring. It consists of an array of 4/8 Miniature Optical Power Monitors (MOPM) packaged in a compact case. Each MOPM integrates a micro-tap and a PIN photodiode into a single mini coaxial package. The OPMA dramatically reduces the footprint requirement and saves…
