OTTAWA -- Peleton, a privately held developer and manufacturer of multi-wavelength lasers for applications in optical test and measurement, networking and photonic sensing, today announced the availability of the TM3050C multi-wavelength laser source.

The TM3050C is a compact, flat-spectrum, high-power laser offering significant cost-per-wavelength savings over traditional multi-wavelength test solutions. The versatile laser finds applications in manufacturing, research, development, validation and field deployment environments.

"The TM3050C is a unique solution not only for verification and testing of optical subsystems, such as amplifiers, optical channel monitors, optical switches and ROADMs, but also for DWDM system verification, dynamic network simulations, multi-wavelength sensing applications and optically steered phased arrays," said Velko Tzolov, vice-president, marketing and sales, Peleton. "We are seeing a growing demand for 50GHz capabilities driven by equipment vendors and service providers that are beginning to think about the future of their networks."

Peleton’s TM3050C provides more than twice as many channels as the company’s introductory TM3100C laser announced earlier this year. All 96 channels exit from a single optical fiber and the laser is housed in an industry standard 2U rack-mountable package.

All of the wavelengths produced by the TM3050C are internally locked to the ITU-T grid at 50GHz channel spacing. In addition to the TM3050C, Peleton is also offering a 96-channel optical channel controller, the QTM050C, which provides accurate attenuation and blocking of individual channels.
