Coherent Introduces New WaveShaper Instruments for the U- and Super C-Bands
January 23 2024 - 6:00AM
Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a leading provider of test and
measurement instruments for optical communications, today announced
the introduction of new members of the WaveShaper family, extending
the performance and the wavelength range of these instruments.
The transmission spectrum in optical communications over
transport networks continues to broaden to accommodate the growing
demand for bandwidth. The new WaveShaper instruments from Coherent
are capable of testing optical components and networking systems in
the U- and Super C-bands.
“We continue to expand the capabilities of our WaveShaper
platform in response to strong customer demand,” said Dr. Sanjai
Parthasarathi, Chief Marketing Officer. “These instruments offer a
powerful combination of functionality, flexibility, and
cost-effectiveness, empowering researchers and engineers in optical
communications to push the technology boundaries, now including in
the new cutting-edge U-band.”
- The WaveShaper® 1000A and 4000A are
programmable optical processors operating in the U-band of optical
communications. They support generation of arbitrary filter shapes
in attenuation and phase over a large wavelength range that extends
beyond 1650 nm. These instruments are used in forward-looking lab
environments to support research on wide-band multi-wavelength
transmission experiments for future high-capacity optical
networks.
- The WaveShaper® 500B is a programmable optical
filter that can generate arbitrary filter shapes in attenuation
over the Super C-band from 1523.53 nm to 1573.301 nm. This
instrument supports development and production of components and
systems for the upcoming optical multi-wavelength communication
systems operating in the Super-C Band.
The new WaveShaper instruments are available now and have begun
shipping. Coherent will demonstrate its optical test instruments
at Photonics West 2024 in San Francisco, Jan. 30 to Feb. 1,
Booth #4805.
