- AC Photonics
AC Photonics has an extensive range of WDM filters, modules, components and sub-systems designed for typical communications applications such as CWDM and DWDM networks, fibre optic amplifier nodes, CATV and broadband fibre optic systems, wavelength routing equipment, and long haul/metro/access communication networks.
MWDM (Micro-Optics WDM) components are offered for many selected operating wavelength ranges with options for high channel isolation, pass/reflect channels, multi-mode (MM) or single mode (SM) fibre types, and specification limits definition through standard/premium/super grade performance selection.
AC Photonics MWDM devices use thin film coating technology proprietary in design, with non-flux metal bonding and an epoxy-free optical path.
