   Dense Wave Division Multiplexing - DWDM

Dense wave division multiplexing is a version of fiber optic communication that combines many optical channels on a single fiber, typically used to increase the data transmission capacity of previously installed fiber. Dense wave division multiplexing provides a significant increase in capacity compared to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) that combined up to four different optical wavelengths on a single fiber. As of year 2005, DWDM systems up to 160 different wavelengths on one fiber, providing the capability of transferring over 1 trillion bits of data per second. Each optical channel (wavelength) is capable of providing approximately 10 Gb/s (OC-192 9.3 Gb/s data rate). The wavelengths on a DWDM system can be separated by as little as 0.4 nm.
