  • Connecting the optical module to the wavelength division multiplexer

    Connecting the optical module to the wavelength division multiplexer

    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.e., colors) of laser light. This technique enables bidirectional communications over a single strand of fiber (also called wavelength-division duplexing) as well as multiplication of capacity. The. SystemsA WDM system uses a at the to join the several signals together and a at the to split them apart. With the right type of fiber, it is possible to have a device that does both s.
