Tunable Dispersion Compensation Module (TDCM)

Tunable Dispersion Compensation Module (TDCM): GROWSFIBER's tunable dispersion compensation module (TDCM) is based on Gires-Tournois etalon technology. It makes different wavelengths of optical signals transmit different optical paths and produces periodic dispersion effects. By controlling the temperature of the etalon interference cavity, the dispersion tuning can be achieved. This product has the characteristics of high compensation accuracy, adjustable dispersion compensation value, low loss, and small size. It is suitable for high-speed DWDM systems or occasions where dynamic dispersion adjustment is required.; Contact Us
