Product
Description
WaveSplitter’s AWG has been combined with Gemfire’s VOA
Array
to create a best-in-class V-Mux product, allowing individual
channel power control for channel balancing. This combination of
hybrid technologies overcomes the current limitations in V-Mux
products, offering extremely low power consumption, a wide
attenuation range and exceptionally low PDL even at maximum
attenuation. An integrated temperature controller is included,
simplifying system integration while maintaining a small footprint.
