Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM)
Introduction to
Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM)
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is a technique, which uses a special property
of fiber-optics. This property allows the combination of multiple signals onto a single
strand of fiber. Each signal is assigned to a different wavelength, of light. Since one
wavelength does not affect another wavelength, the signals do not interfere.
