Data Sheet
4 Band (10-skip-0) Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer for
40 Channel systems
Bookham offers a high performance banded optical add/drop
multiplexer (OADM) for 40 channel systems enabling 100GHz
channel add/drop functionality with four 10-skip-0 bands.
These band filters use Bookham proprietary Advanced
Energetic Deposition (AED) thin film technology for superior
performance.
With band demux and mux ports connected, this 4 band
module provides low and constant loss across each band.
Channel add/drop function can be added at any time by
substituting the appropriate jumper with 10 channel mux and
demux modules.
The Bookham 4 band solutions offers the superior
combination of fully passive operation, low loss, compact
size, and wide pass bands. Bookham’s thin film technology
provides a flat-topped pass band design that allows for
less stringent control of the laser wavelength over the
system lifetime.
Available in rack-mount, LGX, and stand-alone module
packaging, the 4 band OADM solution allows the flexibility to
add individual channel demux/mux modules as needed while
keeping the loss for other bands constant.
