The Z-Block is a core optical component used in wavelength division multiplexing/demultiplexing (WDM) systems. Structurally, it is typically composed of several integrated optical elements, including collimating lenses, rhomboid prisms, and specially designed optical mirrors. Current solutions are limited by trade-offs between channel spacing, crosstalk, insertion. optical communication networks. The Z-block subassemblies are available for SWDM, LAN-WDM and CWDM4 transceivers and wSpeed up the assembly of mux/demux components for high-speed optical transceivers with these monolithic Z-blocks that enable a more rapid alignment process.
