The tunable optical detector (TOD) is ideal for subsystem integrators looking for the most cost effective solution to embedded DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) monitoring within self-managed optical amplifier and ROADM (reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer) modules.

The TOD is a tunable optical detector integrated into a single compact TO-46 package. The TOD provides a more compact, reliable and cost effective alternative to larger spectrum monitors based on mechanical actuation, linear photodiode array or other technologies in larger packages.
