Gemfire AWG

The Gemfire Series of AWGs (Arrayed Waveguide Gratings) are cost-effective, high-performance DWDM mux/demux devices operating on 25GHz to 200GHz channel spacing at the C and L 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 wideband or Gaussian passband options in multiple channel counts, from 8 to 80.

Gemfire Cyclic AWG

The Gemfire Cyclic AWG (Arrayed Waveguide Grating) is a cost-effective, high-performance DWDM mux/demux device operating on 50GHz channel spacing in the C and L Band ITU grid. The PhotonIC™ planar-processed silica-on-silicon chips comprise arrayed channel waveguides to separate or combine multiple wavelengths. Cyclic AWGs allow multiplexing and demultiplexing of multiple 8-channel sub-bands in a single device. Such AWGs considerably simplify inventory management for DWDM network providers. They also offer low insertion loss, excellent channel isolation, ease of fiber handling, and long-term reliability in a compact package. Available in several channel and package configurations, Gemfire Cyclic AWGs are particularly ideal for OADM applications.
