The Xtellus Dynamic Blocker Equaliser can selectively and dynamically pass, equalise or block any or all wavelengths on a DWDM fibre. The Dynamic Blocker Equaliser model is optimised for the most demanding long haul and high bit rate R-OADM, OXC and channelised equalisation applications.

KEY FEATURES:

C Band or L Band at 50 GHz or 100 GHz spacing

Ultra-compact form factor of 220 x 110 x 30 mm

<5 dB insertion loss

>50 dB extinction

Flattop passband at 50% of channel spacing

Continuous passband for concatenated channels

Dynamic equalisation up to 15 dB

Versatile electronic interfaces

The Xtellus Dynamic Gain Equaliser can selectively and dynamically equalise optical power in fine bands across the spectrum. Its main application is to provide optical power equalisation independent of underlying channelisation plan to extend the length of a DWDM fibre span. With multiple independent controls and a high gain slope the Xtellus Dynamic Gain Equaliser can match and thus equalise even the most uneven profiles that can result from adding and dropping DWDM channels combined with amplifier non-linearities.

KEY FEATURES:

C or L Band with ability to address extended ranges

<3.5 dB insertion loss

Dynamic range to 15 dB

Attenuation resolution of 0.1 dB

Up to 64 independent controls

Gain slope greater than 5 dB/nm

Compact form factor of 135 x 70 x 20 mm

Versatile electronic interfaces

Xtellus plans to use its liquid crystal optical processing core technology to deliver a range of dynamic optical modules and components, including:

Dynamic Blocker Equalisers optimised for metro applications

Tunable Filters

Variable Multiplexers

Dynamic Dispersion Compensation Modules

Optical Performance Monitors
