Based on Axon’s patent pending CVD process, these Silica-on-Silicon
waveguides exhibit exceptional material uniformity. Complemented with
our automated and robust packaging, Axon’s planar lightwave circuits
are well suited for demanding telecom applications such as DWDM,
long-haul and metro transmission systems.
The Gaussian Arrayed-Waveguide Grating (AWG) offers low insertion loss,
polarization insensitivity, accurate channel alignment, very low crosstalk
and high channel-to-channel uniformity.
