Highlight: 40 Gb/s Optical Switch (XLT-AOS)

EXELITE XLT-AOS is a plug-and-play generic, optical switch device, based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometer structure and capable of operating at 40 Gb/s. XLT-AOS is ideal for high-speed optical signal processing, wavelength conversion, optical regeneration, de-multiplexing and optical logic. XLT-AOS exploits state-of-the-art photonic integration and Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOA) as the non-linear switching elements. The module exhibits low fiber-to-fiber loss and requires low switching powers to operate.

The XLT-AOS is offered in a convenient benchtop package, suitable for academic and industrial R&D laboratories. The module includes on/off key switch, separate current controls for the SOAs and two independent phase controls for optimum biasing of the module. The front panel display allows for SOA currents, temperature and phase control monitoring. All readings are simultaneously displayed without requiring any user interaction.
