DWDM highlights

Up to 90 DWDM wavelength over one pair of fiber

DWDM channel spacing 0.8 nm (100 GH gri!" or 0.# nm ($0 GH

gri!"

Distances over 1%000 &m can be achieve! with the 'se of optical
amplifier

DWDM wavelength( 1$)8 nm (channel *1" to 1$*+ nm (channel

DWDM principle
-he f'nctionalit. of DWDM resembles to the one of /WDM . Unli&e
to /WDM technolog.% the channel spacing for DWDM is 0.800.# nm
(100 GH0$0 GH gri!". -his small channel spacing allows to
transmit sim'ltaneo'sl. m'ch more information. /'rrentl. a
restriction on wavelengths between 1$+0 nm an! 1*)$ nm e1ists
which correspon!s to the / an! 2 ban!. 3n this connection DWDM
wavelengths from DWDM technolog. is more e1pensive compare!
to /WDM ca'se! b. the nee! of more sophisticate! transceivers.
Theoretically available DWDM channels in the C and L-band
