OVERVIEW
The High-Resolution Dynamic Wavelength Processor (DWP) from Finisar enables programmable
channel switching and attenuation through the proprietary use of Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS)
technology and provides advanced functionality through embedded software
The DWP 50 is a fully integrated intelligent module offering flexible and upgradeable high
resolution Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) functionality for advanced reconfigurable network
applications.
Multiple configurations including 9x1 or 4x1 add and 1x9 or 1x4 drop modules are available.
All DWP 50 configurations offer enhanced bandwidth performance and user-selectable 50 or 100
GHz channel spacing.
The programmable liquid crystal matrix technology individually addresses 80/40 channels on a
50/100 GHz grid, each of which can be independently and hitlessly switched to any port with full
attenuation control.
Finisar’s DWP product family provides a cost competitive solution for WSS applications from the
core to the edge of the network
