Description
The Pure Photonics Athermal Wide-Band Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) is a high-performance, fully passive optical multiplexer/demultiplexer designed for next-generation Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) systems. Supporting up to 48 channels within the C-band, this compact solution enables efficient wavelength routing over a broad frequency range of 191.2 to 196.1 THz.
With options for 100 GHz, 75 GHz, or 50 GHz channel spacing, the Athermal AWG delivers flexible, high-density wavelength management for metro, regional, and long-haul optical networks. The device operates reliably across a wide temperature range (-5°C to +60°C) without requiring active thermal control, ensuring stability and minimizing operating costs. Engineered with ultra-low insertion loss of <5 dB and supporting 4 input ribbons with LC/PC connectors, this AWG offers superior performance while simplifying integration. Ideal for space-constrained network environments, the Pure Photonics AWG is the solution of choice for carriers and data center operators seeking scalable and cost-effective DWDM deployments.
