Optimal band for wavelength division multiplexing

Home / Optimal band for wavelength division multiplexing

Dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) refers originally to optical signals multiplexed within the 1550 nm band so as to leverage the capabilities (and cost) of EDFAs, which are effective for wavelengths between approximately 1525–1565 nm (C band), or 1570–1610 nm (L band). Wavelength division multiplexers are fundamental to the functioning and performance of integrated photonic circuits, with applications ranging from optical interconnects to sensing and quantum technologies. Current solutions are limited by trade-offs between channel spacing, crosstalk, insertion. The C-Band or 3rd window is used for dense wavelength division multiplexing ( DWDM). This calculator provides the calculation of the total frequency bandwidth used by a WDM system.
