Data Sheet

1

Bookham offers a high performance 10 channel optical

add/drop multiplexer solution for 100GHz channels.

This module’s express port allows an upgrade path to 40

channels. Electronic variable optical attenuators (VOAs) with

tap/detectors are included for band-by-band loss adjustment.

The Bookham 10 channel solution offers an ideal combination

of low loss, compact size, wide channel pass bands and an

upgrade path to 40 channels. Specified loss of <5.8dB is

achieved in the uniform loss version of the product. Matched

mux-demux pairs are also available as a design option.

Ribbon connector outputs are available as a design option.

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.
