WaveProcessor^TM WPA-900

The WPA-900 is a system programmable to generate arbitrary filter shapes with santec’s unique LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technology. It can be used as an optical equalizer for high-speed signals, as an adaptive DWDM channel filtering, or as a flexible test and measurement system.

• Programmable arbitrary spectral shaping
• Attenuation and bandwidth variable for each individual ITU-T grids
• Excellent frequency resolution, 0.2GHz (typ.)
• Optical equalizer for high-speed optical signals
• 40Gb/s, 100Gb/s transmission test

LCOS based WaveProcessor^TM Arrays (WPA)

Santec WPA is an array WaveProcessor^TM based on LCOS （Liquid Crystal on Silicon). The WaveProcessor^TM has one input port from which the input optical signals are intelligently, spectrally processed by the LCOS, and one output port. The WaveProcessor^TM Arrays (WPA) are integrated multiple ports type of the WaveProcessor^TM. Each port is independently managed by the command-based user controls. The WPA based on LCOS is the first commercial product of its kind in the world. The WPA will provide a drastic footprint downsizing in the next generation ROADM.

• 4×4 WXC (4 degree, 4 color add/drop ports)
• Upgradable wave-processing in next generation ROADM
• Tunable filters for colorless receivers
