Finisar has taken reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) to the next level by providing our customers with greater flexibility and control in dynamically switching traffic from one optical link to another and across multiple wavelengths in the network.
We've adapted liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), a cutting-edge technology for rear-projection televisions and microdisplays, to produce the industry’s most feature-rich and cost-effective ROADM. Our wavelength selective switch (WSS) acts as the core switching element with enabling functionalities to support value-add products. LCoS is used to provide a software programmable wavelength processor using miniature free space optics, so, in the future, firmware can be uploaded in the field to enable additional functionality.
Our product line includes WSS ROADMs of various port counts, customer-specific circuit packs, a high resolution optical platform version enabling ultra-high capacity systems and "drop and continue" for broadcast applications.
