Gemfire AWG

The Gemfire Series of AWGs (Arrayed Waveguide Gratings) are cost-effective, high-performance DWDM mux/demux devices operating on 50GHz and 100GHz channel spacing in the C Band ITU grid. The PhotonIC™ planar-processed silica-on-silicon chips comprise arrayed channel waveguides to separate or combine multiple wavelengths. Gemfire AWGs provide low insertion loss, excellent channel isolation, ease of fiber handling, and long-term reliability in a compact package. The product is offered with wide (Flat Top) or Gaussian passband options in 40 channel (100GHz spacing) and 80 channel (50GHz spacing) variants.
