WaveShaper optical processors offer the ideal tool for DWDM system and component testing, optical pulse shaping and control, and high-speed optical research and development. The new WaveShaper S-Series extends this already powerful platform with:
-- Enhancements to the Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) optical engine to
provide even higher optical resolution for improved control of filter shape
and dispersion;
-- New software, including drivers for LabVIEW and Linux, to simplify
integration of the WaveShaper into complex test systems;
-- Smaller form factor to free up valuable space within test systems.
"With the new S-Series, Finisar continues to demonstrate its leadership in optical filtering and Wavelength Selective Switch technology," said Simon Poole, Director of New Business Ventures for Finisar. "By leveraging our extensive optical expertise, we have again delivered unmatched control, precision, and flexibility to our customers."
The WaveShaper is the only fully programmable Optical Filter and Wavelength Selective Switch available on the market. Its unique ability to control both the amplitude and phase characteristics of filters and switches not only simplifies testing of high-speed optical systems and subsystems at 40 and 100 Gb/s, but also makes possible research and development in entirely new areas. For example, with the WaveShaper, researchers are able to perform Optical Fourier Domain Waveform Manipulation as required for femtosecond laser pulse generation.
"The WaveShaper has a unique capability to generate optical transfer functions with arbitrary amplitude and phase," said Professor Ben Eggleton, at the University of Sydney. "The ability to easily and precisely implement Optical Fourier Domain Waveform transformations has opened up whole new areas of optical communications research based on the WaveShaper's precise control of pulse shape and timing."
The new WaveShaper 1000S and WaveShaper 4000S are available now. Finisar will demonstrate both enhanced WaveShaper S-Series Programmable Optical Processors next week in booth #640 at ECOC in Vienna.
