PhotonPath\u2019s Dual Dynamic Gain Equalizer (DDGE)<\/strong> is a compact, low-loss integrated photonic device device for optical gain flattening in amplified networks.<\/p>

Built on PhotonPath\u2019s<\/strong> proprietary low-loss SiON platform, the module integrates fully reconfigurable filters<\/strong>, that dynamically adapt to guarantee spectral flatness and high optical performance.<\/p>

DDGE<\/strong> extends usable bandwidth enabling a single amplifier to replace three or four amplifier nodes while reducing noise, complexity, cost and power consumption.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
