Three-Port Add/Drop
Multiplexer Family -
100GHz Channels
terra-Q 100
The Bookham Technology terra-Q narrowband
filter family is based on thin-film interference filter
technology. A range of 100GHz design options
are available.
terra-Q 100 Standard
This product is intended for construction of multiplexer and
demultiplexer systems. It provides high performance and
lowest cost.
terra-Q 100 OADM
This product features improved specifications for reflection
isolation, transmission isolation and chromatic dispersion. This
part is designed for more demanding applications such as
channel by channel optical add drop multiplexing or lower
chromatic dispersion mux/demux designs.
terra-Q 100 Wide-Top
This product features the widest available clear channel width.
Wider clear channel provides for less rounding of the channel
passband after cascading of filters. The wider clear channel also
allows for the wider spectral width of high-chirp lasers or
40Gb/s modulation rates.
Features
ITU and Custom Wavelengths
27.5GHz and 50GHz clear
channel passbands
Deep reflection isolation for OADM
Accurate Wavelength Centering
High Adjacent Channel
Transmission Isolation
Low Chromatic Dispersion Version
Excellent Temperature Stability
