Lumentum Introduces Industry-First TrueFlex® Small Form Factor Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS)
March 21 2017 - 8:00AM
Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“Lumentum”) has added an industry-first
small form factor TrueFlex Nano 1x9 WSS to its extensive portfolio
of ROADM solutions for single-slot line card optical networking
applications. This next generation Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS)
TrueFlex 1x9 WSS is 42% smaller than conventional solutions and
requires less operating power. Sample quantities are currently
available.

“We fundamentally redesigned the WSS – from the component-level
to packaging,” said James Goodchild, director, product line
management, Wavelength Management. “This next generation LCOS-based
Nano 1x9 WSS delivers the field-proven, high-reliability
performance of our current Micro 1x9 WSS solutions in a
dramatically smaller device.”
The TrueFlex Nano 1x9 WSS is in a single-slot low-profile
77x167x18.5 mm package, uses less than 20W at startup and less than
12W at steady state. It supports flex spectrum down to 3.125 GHz
slot widths with accurate attenuation control. Lumentum customers
using the current 80 pin/27mm Micro 1x9 can easily migrate to the
TrueFlex Nano’s smaller form factor using a slot adapter, targeted
to be available next quarter.
The TrueFlex Nano’s 1x9 WSS is targeted for broadcast and select
applications and, in a dual deployment model enabled by its small
size, for route and select applications. High-performance
applications with high port isolation are enabled by a 1x5
variant.
“As operators drive managed DWDM networks further to the edge, a
smaller form factor TrueFlex WSS is required for smaller edge
shelves,” said Doug Alteen, vice president, product line
management, Telecom. “Network equipment manufacturers can leverage
the TrueFlex Nano 1x9 to reduce the power consumption of their
ROADM blades while increasing density.”
Lumentum has an extensive portfolio of high-performance,
wavelength selective switches supporting single-slot ROADM
deployment in access, metro, regional, and long-haul networks.
Many of these products will be on display at OFC
2017 from March. 20 – 23, 2017, in Los Angeles, Calif., at the
Los Angeles Convention Center in Booth # 3001.
