WaveShaper 3200xB (Single or Dual Core)

Reconfigurable Optical Processor

Programmable wavelength-selective MxN optical filter with control of filter shape and phase on each input/output port combination. The instrument is available as a one-core unit or as a two-core unit, where a core is a WaveShaper engine. The two-core unit therefore includes the functionality of two separate WaveShaper units. Each core has a total number of 32 ports. These can be configured by software commands to 1 x 31, 4 x 28, 8 x 24, 12 x 20 and 16 x 16.All these port combinations work bi-directional, therefore also 31 x 1, 28 x 4, 24 x 8 and 20 x 12 are included.

Covering either the Super-C band or the Super-C + Super-L band, the WaveShaper 32000B and 32002B combine precise control of filter wavelength, bandwidth, shape and phase with the ability to switch and combine multiple signals in an “Add” or “Drop” configuration. Both WaveShaper units, the 32000B and the 32002B, also support power splitting, broadcasting and the ability to create programmable interferometers.
