Athermal Arrayed-Waveguide Grating
Multiplexer/Demultiplexer
AAWG Series
Product Description
Athermal Arrayed-Waveguide Grating (AAWG) have equivalent perfor-
mance to thermal AWGs but no any electrical power needed for operation.
AAWG is more simple than thermal AWG.
Oplink’s planar lightwave circuits are well suited for demanding telecom ap-
plications in long-haul and metro transmission systems. The AAWG provide
extremely excellent optical performance, high reliability, ease of fiber han-
dling and power saving solution in a compact package.

Notes:
[1] All the parameters are excluding connectors. IL of con-
nectors is 0.2dB/pair for PC/UPC/SPC types and 0.4dB
per pair for APC types.
[2] The maximum IL is under all states of polarization and
within the full operating temperature and wavelength
ranges specified.
[3] Measured from minimum loss to 1dB and 3dB down
respectively.
