Santec AOC Introduces a New Phase Control Feature for Programmable LCOS-Based Optical Filter (WSS-2000)

Santec AOC Corporation (headquarters located in Komaki City, Japan) is excited to announce the addition of a new Phase Control feature to its LCOS based Programmable Optical Filter WSS-2000 (optional). This enhancement offers flexible and precise control of the filter passband, ideal for test and measurement in optical communication systems and other advanced optical applications.

The new phase control function enables advanced functions such as emulation and compensation of chromatic dispersion as well as signal buffering. In the field quantum optics, the WSS-2000 can be used to control group delay, thereby adjusting the timing and phase of entangled photon pairs.

Product Overview

• Product Name: LCOS based Programmable Optical Filter　WSS-2000
• Features: The WSS-2000 is a high-performance optical filter that offers precise control of light waveforms. It is well-suited for evaluating and testing next-generation optical networks. The filter can function as an optical equalizer for high-speed signals, a channel selection filter for DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), and a WSS emulator.
• New Feature: An optional phase control function has been added. This enhancement offers flexible and precise control of the filter passband, ideal for test and measurement in optical communication systems and other advanced optical applications.
