Dispersion Compensators
ClearSpectrum™
The ClearSpectrum™ product family provides accurate dynamic and static dispersion management products for various applications from chromatic dispersion compensation in optical networks to signal encoding in secure networks. The product suite features components that meet the highest reliability standards in the telecom and military industries.
ClearSpectrum™
Dispersion Compensators
Tunable Series
The ClearSpectrum™ Tunable dispersion compensators delivers dynamic control over chromatic dispersion in the optical domain to help manage time-dependent dispersion effects in high-speed communications networks.
ClearSpectrum™
Dispersion Compensators
Static Series
The ClearSpectrum™ Static dispersion compensators exhibit low insertion loss FBG-based compensators for cost-sensitive high-speed DWDM networks.
Static Dispersion Compensators
TeraXion’s static dispersion ClearSpectrum™ product suite features the DCMX, a passive dispersion compensation module which is available in several form factors including LGX. With its low insertion loss compared to DCF, the DCMX allows system vendors to save on amplification cost for in-line applications. Moreover, the small footprint and extended reach - up to 400 km - of this compensator make it suitable for long point-to-point spans or hut skipping configurations.
TeraXion also proposes the DCX, which is the athermal FBG package designed for customers who wish to incorporate dispersion compensation onto their transponder board or amplifier module. Both the DCX and the DCMX are tailored to compensate for different fiber types such as NDSF, DSF and NZDSF. In their positive dispersion versions, the fixed compensators are used to emulate chromatic dispersion in a T&M environment.
Tunable Dispersion Compensators
The tunable versions of the ClearSpectrum™ product suite feature four main products consisting in two OEM components and their module version. The TDC is TeraXion’s former OEM tunable dispersion compensator and the TDCM, its complete module version that includes an optical circulator and necessary electronics. Both of these products deliver accurate dynamic control over chromatic dispersion to help manage dispersion effects in 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s communication networks.
The latest OEM tunable product, the TDCX, also provides accurate dynamic control over chromatic dispersion but moreover, this dispersion compensator is wavelength tunable which makes it channel plan independent. The new TDCMX is the plug and play version of the TDCX and it is designed to accommodate any channel plan from 25 to 100 GHz. All tunable products can be used on a per-channel basis for residual dispersion compensation or over multiple channels for in-line applications. The wide tuning range of these dispersion compensators makes them suitable for T&M applications, and the option of using them with positive dispersion enables their use for fiber emulation.
