  • Wavelength division multiplexing is divided into two types based on wavelength

    Wavelength division multiplexing is divided into two types based on wavelength

    Two main types—CWDM and DWDM: Coarse WDM (CWDM) uses fewer, widely spaced wavelengths for cost-effective, short-distance applications, while Dense WDM (DWDM) supports many closely spaced wavelengths for long-distance, high-capacity networks. In fiber-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (i. Each signal is assigned a unique wavelength of light, enabling independent data streams to coexist without.

    WDM systems are divided into three different wavelength patterns: normal (WDM), coarse (CWDM) and dense (DWDM). Normal WDM (sometimes called BWDM) uses the two normal wavelengths 1310 and 1550 nm on one fiber. Coarse WDM provides up to 16 channels across multiple transmission windows of silica fibers.

  • The wavelength spacing in coarse wavelength division multiplexing is typically nm

    The wavelength spacing in coarse wavelength division multiplexing is typically nm

    The wavelengths are spaced out by 20 nanometers which allows up to 18 channels to be accommodated within the 1270 nm to 1610 nm spectrums. This spacing is beneficial because CWDM can be less expensive than utilizing other spacing lasers due to the reduced inter-channel interference. CWDM was standardized by the ITU-T G. It can carry up to 18 CWDM wavelengths over one pair of fibers. The channels are combined and transmitted over a single fibre optic cable.
