Avanex Extends Industry Leading Interleaver Platform.FREMONT, Calif. -- Avanex Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :AVNX), a pioneer of intelligent photonic solutions that enable next-generation optical networks, today introduced its 25 GHz PowerMux interleaver product portfolio based on patented Gires-Tournois etalon technology. Interleavers enable Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM (1) (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) A technology that uses multiple lasers and transmits several wavelengths of light (lambdas) simultaneously over a single optical fiber. ) networks to cost-effectively double the number of channels and capacity within the same operational wavelength window. Currently, most interleaver-enabled WDM systems operate at 50 GHz channel spacing. Avanex's industry-leading interleaver platform now enables 25 GHz channel spacing, which effectively doubles the number of available channels in a given wavelength range. The 25 GHz PowerMux is a low-cost upgrade solution for high capacity next-generation ultra-dense WDM networks. Avanex's Gires-Tournois etalon technology is uniquely suited for 25 GHz and finer channel spacing. The Avanex 25 GHz PowerMux interleaver offers low insertion loss, wide passband pass·band n. The range of frequencies transmitted by a bandpass filter. with very low Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL See page description language. 1. PDL - Page Description Language. 2. PDL - Program Design Language. 3. PDL - Push Down List. 4. PDL - Dave Lebling, one of the co-authors of Zork. ) and Polarization Mode Dispersion Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is a form of modal dispersion where two different polarizations of light in a waveguide, which normally travel at the same speed, travel at different speeds due to random imperfections and asymmetries, causing random spreading of optical pulses. (PMD (Polarization Mode Dispersion) The type of dispersion that occurs in singlemode fiber due to a lack of perfect symmetry in the fiber and from external pressures on the cable. Light travels over singlemode fiber in two polarization states. ). The device's wide passband and high channel isolation allow it to be used in applications that require multiple node cascading. "We have continued to invest and innovate in this technology, and the 25 GHz interleaver is the latest of several recent advancements including asymmetric and bidirectional interleaving interleaving - sector interleave ," said Dr. Sanjai Parthasarathi, senior director, product line management. "Our interleaving technology offers the best combination of wide-band and low loss. This product is gaining good market traction among next-generation network system designers." Avanex's Interleaver product family will be on display at Avanex booth 2141 at the Optical Fiber Conference and Exhibition (OFC/NFOEC) held at the Anaheim Convention Center Anaheim Convention Center is a major convention center in Anaheim, California. It is located across from the Disneyland Resort on Katella Avenue. Much of the Anaheim Convention Center has been renovated in recent years with state-of-the-art facilities. in Anaheim, Calif. between March 26 - 29.
