  2. Wavelength-division multiplexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength-division...

    Coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM), in contrast to DWDM, uses increased channel spacing to allow less sophisticated and thus cheaper transceiver designs. To provide 16 channels on a single fiber, CWDM uses the entire frequency band spanning the second and third transmission windows (1310/1550 nm respectively) including the critical ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_optical_networking

    Where fiber exhaustion is a concern, multiple SONET signals can be transported over multiple wavelengths on a single fiber pair by means of wavelength-division multiplexing, including dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) and coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_Gigabit_Ethernet

    It uses four separate laser sources operating at 3.125 Gbit/s and Coarse wavelength-division multiplexing with four unique wavelengths around 1310 nm. Its 8b/10b PCS is defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause 48 and its Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayer in Clause 53.

  6. Arrayed waveguide grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrayed_waveguide_grating

    Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) are commonly used as optical (de)multiplexers in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems. These devices are capable of multiplexing many wavelengths into a single optical fiber, thereby increasing the transmission capacity of optical networks considerably.

  7. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

    Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is the technique of transmitting multiple channels of information through a single optical fiber by sending multiple light beams of different wavelengths through the fiber, each modulated with a separate information channel. This allows the available capacity of optical fibers to be multiplied.

  8. Dark fibre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_fibre

    Managed dark fibre is a form of wavelength-division multiplexed access to otherwise dark fibre where a pilot signal is beamed into the fibre by the fibre provider for management purposes using a transponder tuned to an assigned wavelength. Virtual dark fibre using wavelength multiplexing allows a service provider to offer individual wavelengths ...

  9. Optical add-drop multiplexer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_add-drop_multiplexer

    An optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) is a device used in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems for multiplexing and routing different channels of light into or out of a single-mode fiber (SMF). This is a type of optical node, which is generally used for the formation and the construction of optical telecommunications networks. "Add ...
