"WSS ROADM applications comprise one of the fastest growing segments of the optical market," said Daryl Inniss, Vice President and Practice Leader of Communication Components at Ovum. "The availability of Finisar's 1x2 WSS extends the powerful capabilities of its existing ROADM technology in a way that enables a whole new range of products for high volume, metro-access applications."
The design of the EWP provides industry-leading optical performance which supports both 40 and 100 Gbps transport. The optical unit is fully hermetic to ensure high reliability and stable, long-term operation. Advanced packaging techniques, including a High-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (HTCC) substrate, ensure a low-profile package height of 20mm, allowing a ROADM design to be integrated onto a single-height card. Based on Finisar's unique LCoS technology, the EWP supports both 50 and 100 GHz channel spacing in a single WSS with up to 100 channels at 50 GHz spacing and 50 channels at 100 GHz spacing. Both C- and L-band versions are available. Full per-channel attenuation control is supported over a range of 0-20dB, along with other advanced features including Drop-and-Continue capability.
"With the addition of Finisar's EWP, we have further extended our product line to provide the broadest range of WSS options on the market today," said Andrew Kennedy, WSS Product Line Manager at Finisar. "The combination of advanced optics, software and packaging with a versatile LCoS optical engine provides a wavelength switching solution of unmatched performance and functionality to address advanced 40 and 100 Gbps applications."
The new EWP 1x2 Wavelength Selective Switch for Edge Applications will be available in sample quantities in Q4 2009. Finisar will display the EWP in booth #640 at ECOC in Vienna, September 21-23.
