A Key Component in DWDM System – Wavelength-Converting Transponder

The evolution of dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems is going on with an explosion in traffic and an increase in bandwidth-hungry applications for more multimedia services. Dense wavelength-division multiplexing, as an important technology in fiber optical network, is ideal for fiber optical-based solutions. By converting the operating wavelength of the incoming bitstream to an ITU-compliant […]

Three Key Components in a DWDM System

The explosive growth of Internet use and various applications of large bandwidth have increased the demands of information-carrying capacity in optical data transmission. DWDM, based on WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) technology, has been developed to satisfy these demands. And this post gives a brief introduction of three main components in a DWDM system: MUX, DEMUX and […]

Two Types of WDM Connectivity – CWDM and DWDM

Intensive needs for great bandwidth availability and data transmission capacity have boosted the use of WDM in telecommunication. WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) 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. There are two types of WDM : CWDM and DWDM. What’s the […]

Optical Multiplexing for High Speed Communication Systems

Introduction Optical transmission uses pulses of light to transmit information from one place to another through an optical fiber. The light is converted to electromagnetic carrier wave, which is modulated to carry information as the light propagates from one end to another. The development of optical fiber has revolutionized the telecommunications industry. Optical fiber has […]
