standard Optical Interleaver
Optoplex's Optical Interleaver products are based on patented Step-Phase Interferometer design. Used as a Demux (or Mux) device, an optical interleaver separates (or combines) the odd and even channel signals (see the schematic diagram below). Each optical interleaver device is optimized to cover either C- or L-band wavelengths, with the option of covering C+L band. The current standard optical interleaver product family supports 100-200, 50-100, 25-50, and 12.5-25 GHz channel spacing, covering up to 90, 180, 360, and 720 channels, respectively, as well as other custom spacings in that range, such as 33.33-66.66 GHz. Dual-stage optical interleavers are also available.
