FBG, DFB & photosensitive fibers
Exail’s Gain Flattening Filter restores all wavelengths to approximately the same intensity. The high flexible process allows a fast prototype delivery time. Fiber Bragg Grating technology achieves low systematic errors.
Exail’s GFF based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology represents an easy and effective solution to flatten the gain in a WDM systems.
Fast prototyping made possible by our highly flexible production lines. The FBG technology achieves low systematic errors leading to stochastic accumulation of the error function in cascading GFFs.
iXtra technology based on chirped and slanted FBG written on our specialty fiber pushes the limits of flattening by achieving a very low ripple and a high return loss.
