  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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Single-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber

    Connecting couplers, splitters, and wavelength-division multiplexers (WDMs) to optical fibers Connecting optical test equipment to fibers for testing and maintenance. Outside plant applications may involve locating connectors underground in subsurface enclosures that may be subject to flooding, on outdoor walls, or on utility poles.

  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. Reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconfigurable_optical_add...

    In optical communication, a reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) is a form of optical add-drop multiplexer that adds the ability to remotely switch traffic from a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) system at the wavelength layer. This is achieved through the use of a wavelength selective switching module.

  8. Four-wave mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-wave_mixing

    FWM is a fiber-optic characteristic that affects wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems, where multiple optical wavelengths are spaced at equal intervals or channel spacing. The effects of FWM are pronounced with decreased channel spacing of wavelengths (such as in dense WDM systems) and at high signal power levels.

  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 ...
