AGILE OPTICAL SWITCHES
Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) 5x1
Applications
• Wavelength routing/grooming
- Ring inter-connect and
add/drop capability
• Dynamic bandwidth management
Key Features
• 50 GHz 5x1
• Free space optics and MEMS technology
• Equalize, attenuate, block, switch/route any or all wavelengths
• Flat wide pass bands, low dispersion- cascadability
• Colorless solution
- Any wavelength/any port
• Telcordia qualified
• High volume manufacturing
- Automated optics alignment and assembly (high
throughput, multi-parameter optimization, high
precision/repeatability, operator independent)
- Fully automated test and calibration facility (auto data
logging and monitoring, networked access to data and
test status)
• CAPEX – eliminates O-E-O conversions
• OPEX – remote planning and re-configuration
• Faster time to revenue
JDSU's Agile Optical Switch family provides the broadest portfolio of ROADM
solutions designed to match the requirements of major market segments. They
are the building blocks of Agile Optical Networks and provide the flexibility to
remotely reconfigure any or all wavelengths, thereby reducing time-to-service,
simplifying the network and streamlining planning and management. This results
in significant Opex and Capex reductions and faster time to revenue. In addition,
they enable the cost effective creation and deployment of more complex
network architectures.
The Wavelength Selective Switch is an N-port module composed of a hermetically
sealed optics block and control electronics. The optics block is based on the highly
successful free space optics platform developed for the Wavelength Blockers,
hence maintaining a common platform solution while evolving to the WSS.
The WSS is used to dynamically attenuate, block switch and route wavelengths
independently. Any wavelength/wavelengths can be routed from any port/ports to
any other port/ports in any order, resulting in a colorless solution, that is highly
flexible and requires no pre-planning.
