Planar Waveguide Dense Wavelength

Division Multiplexer/Demultiplexer

AWGM5 Series

Arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) wavelength division multiplexers and de-

multiplexers at 50GHz channel spacing are based on patent-pending CVD

process.These silica-on-silicon waveguides exhibit exceptional material uni-

formity.

Complemented by our automated robust packaging, Oplink’s planar light-

wave circuits are well suited for demanding telecom applications such as

DWDM, long-haul, and metro transmission systems. The AWG offers low

insertion loss, accurate channel alignment, very low crosstalk and high chan-

nel-to-channel uniformity.This product family complies with Telcordia GR-

1221-CORE.

Oplink can provide customized designs to meet specialized feature applica-

tions. Also, Oplink offers modular assemblies that integrate other compo-

nents to form a full function module.
