The AWG (arrayed-waveguide grating) multiplexer/demultiplexer combines and splits many channels (up to 88) of optical signals with different wavelengths useful in DWDM systems. The products feature both Gaussian and flat-top types that offer narrow channel spacing (100GHz or. Agiltron's Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) is based on AWG technology. This proven technology offers wide channel bandwidth, flexible channel configuration, low insertion loss, and high isolation. CWDM solutions are available in industry-standard 20 nm spacing with options for a 1310 nm RF overlay bypass as well as single or bidirectional test ports. Among WDM technologies, Thin-Film Filter (TFF) and Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) are two leading approaches, offering unique advantages in cost, capacity, and.
