40-Channel 100GHz Thermal AWG
The Kaiam Thermal AWG (Arrayed Waveguide Grating) is a passive de-multiplexing device that spatially separates a stream of optical signals from a single-mode input fiber into different single mode fibers, each corresponding to an individual ITU channel in the specified wavelength band. The device can also be applied in the reverse format for multiplexing applications. Due to the temperature dependence of center wavelength, the AWG die requires a heater element (and control electronics when needed) that keeps the AWG at a certain temperature within 68-80°C to maintain the optical performance from 5°C to 65°C of environmental temperature.
