96-CH 50G Athermal AWG

This 96-Channel 50GHz Athermal AWG (Arrayed Waveguide Grating) module offers high-density wavelength multiplexing and demultiplexing with excellent thermal stability. Designed for operation in the C-band, it provides low insertion loss, high channel isolation, and reliable performance without the need for external power or temperature control.

Ideal for WDM networks, telecommunications, and access networks, the module supports 96 channels with precise wavelength stability. Its compact design and athermal characteristics ensure consistent operation across varying environmental conditions. Custom configurations including fiber type, connector options, and fiber length are available to meet specific system requirements.
