FAQ
Q1: What is the main purpose of this Ultra-High Density PM AAWG
Module?
A: This product is mainly used in high-capacity DWDM wavelength
division multiplexing/demultiplexing systems.
Q2: How many channels and channel spacing does this PM AAWG
support?
A: This module supports ultra-high density channel configurations
from 32CH to 96CH, with selectable channel spacing of 150GHz,
100GHz, and 50GHz. With a 50GHz spacing, a single module can
support multiplexing and demultiplexing of up to 96 independent
wavelengths, suitable for increasing the capacity of existing fiber
optic networks.
Q3: What are the advantages of the PM AAWG compared to a regular
AAWG?
A: PM AAWG utilizes PM1550 polarization-maintaining fiber and
high-precision PLC planar waveguide technology, maintaining a
stable polarization state during multi-channel
multiplexing/demultiplexing, reducing polarization-dependent
crosstalk and bit error risks. It is particularly suitable for
coherent optical communication, polarization-sensitive test
platforms, and high-end optical transmission systems.
Q4: Does this product support customization?
A: Customization is supported. Customers can customize the number
of channels, channel spacing, passband type, starting channel,
Mux/Demux type, package size, sheath type, fiber length, connector
type, and working axis direction according to system requirements.
Connectors available include FC/UPC, FC/APC, SC/UPC, SC/APC,
LC/UPC, LC/APC, or other customized specifications.
