DWDM Technical Slides

DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) allows multiple optical signals, each with its own wavelength, to be transmitted along the same fiber. It increases network capacity by using existing fiber infrastructure at a low initial cost and with easy upgradability. DWDM works by using multiplexers to combine different wavelength channels and demultiplexers to separate the channels. It has advantages over traditional TDM in allowing for easier upgradability without replacing fiber and with less effect from dispersion. DWDM finds applications in long distance transmission and quick capacity increases in existing fiber networks.

DWDM

DENSE WAVELENGTH DIVISION MULTIPLEXING

DEFINITION - DWDM
DENSE WAVELENGTH DIVISION MULTIPLEXING IS A FIBER- OPTIC TRANSMISSION TECHNIQUE WHICH ALLOWS NUMBER OF OPTICAL SIGNALS, EACH HAVING ITS OWN OPTICAL WAVELENGTH, TO BE TRANSMITTED ALONG THE SAME FIBER.

EVOLUTION OF WDM

ADVANTAGES OF DWDM OVER TDM


Easier upgradability on existing Fiber Infrastructure. Less effect of Dispersion More Capacity - 40 Gb/s Cost effective solution Migration Path to 100Gb/s

APPLICATIONS
Long Distance Transmission - Point to Point and Ring Topology. Flexibility to lease Capacity to users. Quick increase in Capacity on existing Fiber Network.
