Temperature Insensitive New Super Athermal AWG with Extreme Low Wavelength Drift

Retrieved on: 
월요일, 3월 6, 2023

Conventional athermal AWGs are made to support a total of 60pm or larger wavelength drift, which amounts to compensating 0.5pm/°C shift in the AAWG operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Key Points: 
  • Conventional athermal AWGs are made to support a total of 60pm or larger wavelength drift, which amounts to compensating 0.5pm/°C shift in the AAWG operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
  • In POINTek's New Super AAWG which is based on IP-pending optical packaging technology, the New Super AAWGs can support a total of typical 15pm or less wavelength drift, equivalent to 0.12pm/°C shift in the -40°C to 85°C range.
  • "POINTek's New Super AAWG, the upgrade version of our current Super AAWG, is result of continuing improvement of POINTek's athermalization technology and packaging process.
  • "I label this product as New Super AAWG because of the Super Low and Flat thermal wavelength drift of this 5pm total or 0.07pm/°C shift performance in 0°C to 70°C.
