- L-band is defined as 1570 nm – 1610 nm (but can be OEM customized)
- 100% dielectric materials – No polymers, epoxies, gelatins or metals
- Grating chip thickness: 0.625 mm
- Operating temperature at least 500° C
- Packaging: Packed in semiconductor grade Gelpak containers, sealed in class 10 cleanroom
Product Overview
While we primarily supply PING gratings as OEM products, the following selection of gratings, an numerous other gratings, are stock available. You can order the below gratings online, or request a quotation on these or customized gratings.
| Grating | Resolution | AOI | Grating area | Chip size | DE (*) | PDL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PING-Sample-072 | 940 l/mm | 48.5° | 14 mm x 11.5 mm | 16 mm x 13.5 mm | >90% | <0.25 dB |
| PING-Sample-073 | 940 l/mm | 48.5° | 19 mm x 13.5 mm | 21 mm x 15 mm | >90% | <0.25 dB |
(*) Note: DE is minimum absolute diffraction efficiency across both polarizations and the wavelength range
