overview
The edge wavelength Processor (ewP)
by Finisar provides a low cost 1x2
solution for wSS applications at the
network edge. The proprietary use of
Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) technol-
ogy enables programmable channel
switching and attenuation and provides
advanced functionality through embed-
ded software. Advanced hermetic
packaging technology enables a high
reliability small form factor module that
addresses high density card design requirements. The ewP is a fully integrated high-perfor-
mance intelligent module that supports a dual 50/100 GHz channel plan and offers flexible and
upgradeable wSS functionality for advanced applications.
ProDUCT DeSCriPTioN
in network edge applications, low cost and small module form factor are key requirements. The
ewP addresses these needs through a number of design innovations, including:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Balanced, athermal optical design to eliminate need for thermal stabilisation
Advanced HTCC hermetic package technology, enabling a compact high reliability module
Simple, highly manufacturable optical design with low materials cost
High density motherboard size for module size minimization
The ewP optical design supports 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s traffic at 50 GHz channel spacing, while
also delivering excellent 100 GHz channel spacing performance. it uses the same core Liquid
Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) optical switching element used in Finisar’s DwP range of wSS.
oPerATioN
The ewP is configured as a 1x2 wSS module, with fully colorless and hitless allocation of chan-
nels to ports. 96/48 channel operation at 50/100 GHz is supported. Up to 20 dB of attenuation
can be applied on a per channel basis in 0.1 dB steps
