What Are the Common Used Optical Devices in DWDM System

Dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) is an optical fiber multiplexing technology that is used to increase the bandwidth of existing fiber networks. It combines data signals from different sources over a single pair of optical fiber, while maintaining complete separation of the data streams. This is a laser technology used to increase bandwidth over existing fiber optic backbones. DWDM technology is an extension of optical network, the main advantage of DWDM is that it is independent of protocol and transmission rate, DWDM-based network can transmit data in IP, ATM, SONET, SDH and Ethernet.

Optical devices in DWDM system: DWDM optical transceiver modules, DWDM MUX/DEMUX, DWDM OADM and optical amplifiers.

DWDM Transceiver Modules
DWDM optical module is an important device for photoelectric signal conversion. Every DWDM transceiver module has its own specific wavelength, using DWDM technology can greatly save fiber resources. Most DWDM transceiver modules (DWDM SFP，DWDM SFP+，DWDM XFP, etc) on the market today are operating at 100GHz and 50GHz.
