Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing By David Golden
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing • How did DWDM come about? • What is the science behind DWDM? • Where is DWDM used? • Future
Where did DWDM come from? • Invention of fiber optics • Development of Wave Division Multiplexing • Overcoming service provider challenges
What were some of the challenges? • Incorrect calculations • Unexpected ebusiness growth • Capacity Dilemma
What is the science behind DWDM? “The transmission of many signals through a single optical fiber using different wavelengths, each of which carries a separate, independent signal.” -IEEE LEOS What is it?
What is the science behind DWDM? • DWDM uses fiber optic cabling • Each wavelength represents an optical signal • Wavelengths are VERY closely spaced • ITU has specific grid of standard frequencies • “conventional” or C band • “long” or L band • Combines multiple signals so that they can be amplified as a group and transported over a single wire to increase capacity. Who’s a jigga wha?
Where is DWDM used? Service Providers
So what’s next? • Temperature setback Who Knows?
In Summation… Final Thought
That’s All Folk’s!! Any Questions?
