ITU channelized

Dispersion Compensation Module

 

 

Cost effective Dispersion Compensation Module

The strengths of Proximion’s grating technology are combined with a novel design to give a best-in-class, cost effective dispersion compensation module operating over the C-band on the 100 GHz ITU-grid. This solution is ideally suited for metropolitan and regional networks, efficiently addressing the cost issues, while at the same time alleviating a number of problems traditionally attached to channel-based DCM.


Proximion’s DCM is the perfect solution for enhancing today's and future system and amplifier designs. The low loss enables a higher degree of freedom when optimizing a system with respect to performance and cost. The problems related to the non-linear effects that put additional constraints on system design when using DCF based DCMs, are totally solved. An additional feature is the low wavelength dependent loss, which results in lower penalty when cascading the modules, compared with traditional channelized DCM solutions.

The small footprint for Proximion’s DCM-ITU enables for compact system integration.

The outstanding price/performance is achieved by Proximion’s unique in-house ability in FBG manufacturing with nanometer precision. The excellent control of the writing process over the whole length of the grating ensures very low levels of group delay ripple over the full wavelength range.
