LCOS-based Programmable Optical Filter
WSS-2000 is an LCOS-based optical filter that can generate any optical spectrum programmatically. Santec’s proprietary LCOS technology achieves highly flexible bandwidth tuning, attenuation control, and switching operation. It also supports phase control function. WSS-2000 is suitable for evaluation and verification of next-generation optical networks, and can be used for various measurements as an optical equalizer for high-speed signals, DWDM (optical wavelength division multiplexing) and OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) channel selection filter, and WSS emulator. Demo units for evaluation are also available.
