Technology

Proximion offer its customers’ state‐of‐the art Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)‐based solutions. Our unique productoffering originates from our ability to manufacture gratings that are ten times longer than our closest competitor. In the field of telecommunication, it provides us the freedom to tailor our dispersion products to customer specifications. Our unprecedented manufacturing process coupled with the benefits of the FBG technology allows us to offer products to telecommunication customers with ultra‐low loss, no latency, continuous compensation, perfect slope matching, and no non‐linear effects, while simultaneously providing improved space utilization and tailored slope compensation.

  • Ultra‐low loss

    Proximion’s FBG‐based DCMs only have a fraction of the total loss compared to DCF equivalents. The low loss enables a higher degree of freedom when optimizing a system with respect to reach, performance, and cost. In longer spans it is a major cost saver since it reduces the amount of amplification needed.

  • Continuous compensation

    Proximion’s FBG‐based DCMs only have a fraction of the total loss compared to DCF equivalents. The low loss enables a higher degree of freedom when optimizing a system with respect to reach, performance, and cost. In longer spans it is a major cost saver since it reduces the amount of amplification needed.

  • No non‐linear effects

    Proximion’s products tolerate high optical power without suffering from penalties caused by non‐linear effects. Non‐linear effects are not introduced even at the highest power level present throughout any traditional network. The products are thereby future proof for introduction of higher bit rate and channel count, an advantage over traditional DCF based solutions.

  • Perfect slope matching

    Proximion’s FBG‐based DCMs can be designed to perfectly mimic the dispersion and dispersion slope characteristic of any given fiber type. Low residual dispersion is crucial when migrating to higher bit rates.

  • No latency

    Dispersion compensation products from Proximion have negligible latency. The latency is in the order of nanoseconds compared to microseconds in DCF based solutions. This makes Proximion’s products perfectly suited for high‐speed networks supporting low latency services, directly reducing link latency with 10 to 20 percent.

  • Improved space utilization

    Proximion’s compact FBG based solutions provide a dramatic improvement in space utilization, up to 95 percent, hence providing major cost savings with regard to both CAPEX and OPEX.

  • Tailored slope compensation

    Proximion’s products tolerate high optical power without suffering from penalties caused by non‐linear effects. Non‐linear effects are not introduced even at the highest power level present throughout any traditional network. The products are thereby future proof for introduction of higher bit rate and channel count, an advantage over traditional DCF based solutions.
