In fiber-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (colours) of laser light. This technique enables bidirectional communications over one strand of fiber, as well as multiplication of capacity. This book is your ultimate resource for Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM). Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know. In easy to read chapters, with extensive references and links to get you to know all there is to know about Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) right away, covering: Wavelength-division multiplexing, Optical fiber, Optical amplifier, Arrayed waveguide grating, Optical attenuator, Bend radius, Buffer (optical fiber), Cable jetting, Optical fiber cable, Chiral Photonics, Cladding (fiber optics), Cladding mode, ClearCurve, Cleave (fiber), Concentricity error, Core (optical fiber), Coupling loss, Cross-phase modulation, Cutback technique, Delay line interferometer, Distributed Bragg reflector, Distributed temperature sensing, Effective mode volume, Equilibrium mode distribution, Fanout cable, Fiber laser, Fiber Management System, Fiber optic coupler, Fiber optic sensor, Fiber pigtail, Fiberscope, Fizoptika, Fusion splicing, Glow plate, Gradient-index optics, Guided ray, Fibre optic gyroscope, Half Acceptance angle, George Hockham, Hydrogen darkening, Hydroxyl ion absorption, Index-matching material, Interconnect bottleneck, Narinder Singh Kapany, Kingfisher International Pty Ltd, Launch angle, Launch numerical aperture, Leaky mode, Manakov system, Mandrel wrapping, Material dispersion coefficient, Mechanical splice, Microducts, Modal dispersion, Mode field diameter, Mode scrambler, Mode volume, Tsuneo Nakahara, Normalized frequency (fiber optics), Numerical aperture, Open fiber control, Optic crystals, Optical power meter, Optical time-domain reflectometer, Optical train, Optomechanics, Ovality, Overfill, Power-law index profile, Radiation angle, Radiation mode, Radiation pattern, Radio over Fiber, Ray (optics), Recoating, Reference surface, Refractive index contrast, Refractive index profile, Return loss, Solar photonics, Split-step method, Step-index profile, Stripping (fiber), Substitution method, Subwavelength-diameter optical fibre, Thunderbolt (interface), Zero-dispersion wavelength, Multiplexing, 12-channel carrier system, Acoustic telegraphy, Bias tee, Carrier interferometry, Carrier recovery, Carrier system, Central Office Multiplexing, Channel bank, Chirp spread spectrum, Code division multiple access, D4 framing standard, Demultiplexer (media file), DHEC, Digital Circuit Multiplication Equipment, Digital multiplex hierarchy, Digital Multiplex System, Digital Signal 1, Digital Signal Designation, Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer, Digital transmission group, Digroup, DMS-100, Drop and insert, DS1C, DS4/NA, E-carrier, Equivalent pulse code modulation noise, Extended Super Frame, Extended superframe, Frequency grid, Frequency-division multiplexing, Frequency-hopping spread spectrum, Generic Framing Procedure, Guard interval, Inverse multiplexer, Inverse Multiplexing for ATM, L-carrier, Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme, Modified AMI code, MPX filter, Multiplexer, Optical add-drop multiplexer, Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, Pair gain, PCM30, Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy, Pulse-code modulation, Shared medium, Spread spectrum, Statistical time division multiplexing, Subcarrier multiplexing, Superframe, Surpass hiT...and much more This book explains in-depth the real drivers and workings of Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM).
