88-CHANNEL 50GHZ AWG

OPTICAL SCHEMATIC

The commercially available 88 channel AWG features dense

channel spacing of 50 GHz. Compact, it is fabricated using
Enablence proprietary low-loss silica-on-silicon CVD
process. The device uses a flat-top filter shape and is
available in multiple packaging options including: external
thermal control, internal thermal control, and athermal.
