OVERVIEW
The WaveShaper 4000S Multiport Optical
Processor is a 1x4/4x1 programmable optical
filter with full control of filter amplitude and
phase characteristics.
Covering the entire C- or L-band or the C+L
band, the WaveShaper 4000S family combines
precise control of filter wavelength, bandwidth,
shape and phase with the ability to switch and
combine multiple signals in an “Add” or “Drop”
configuration.
PROGRAMMABLE FILTER SHAPES
In its simplest application, the WaveShaper 4000S is a fully programmable, flat-top
optical filter with bandwidth programmable in 1 GHz increments from 10 GHz up to
the whole C+L band (depending on model) and center frequency programmable in
1 GHz increments over the whole band. Band-stop and optical comb filters are also
supported, as is attenuation control on a per channel basis up to 35 dB.
In addition to the classical
‘flat-top’ channel shape, the
WaveShaper 4000S supports
arbitrary user-generated filter
shapes. The required filter profile
(both amplitude and phase) can
be generated by the user and then
loaded into the WaveManager
software which translates the user
specification into the required
filter shape.
PROGRAMMABLE SWITCHING
These arbitrary filter shapes can then be used as the optical switching transfer
function within the WaveShaper 4000S (above). Examples of applications of this
capability include optical pulse generation and manipulation and the emulation of
non-standard multiport optical components.
In particular, the ability
of a WaveShaper 4000S
to emulate the FlexGrid
capability of a Finisar
Wavelength Selective Switch,
allows the user to prototype
advanced optical networks
for 400 GHz and higher data
rates (right).
