Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)

Solution
The continued emergence of the Internet and the insatiable demand for real-time interaction with multimedia applications
has continued to fuel the demand for increased bandwidth. To satisfy this demands, telecommunication providers have
continued to widely deploy high-speed DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) systems. DWDM's tighter
wavelength spacing fit more channels onto a single fiber, but cost more to implement and operate. This is why DWDM are
not as popular as we expected over the past few years.
Fiberstore offers a comprehensive solution for DWDM system which helps you slove the problem of high cost. DWDM
Mux/Demux, DWDM SFP+ optics, EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) as well as other optical components used in
DWDM system are available in Fiberstore with very competitive prices and absolute high performance.

Instructions

Role

Transmitter

Transmitters take an electrical input and converts it to an optical output from a

laser diode or LED.

Receiver

Receivers use semiconductor detectors (photodiodes or photodetectors) to convert

optical signals to electrical signals.

Isolator

Fiber optic isolator can transmit light in a certain direction while blocking light in
the opposite direction.

Dense Wavelength

Division Multiplexing
Dense Wavelength
Division DeMultiplexing

DWDM networks need multiplexer/demultiplexer (MUX/DEMUX) modules to

combine and split wavelength channels at standard ITU grid.

Coupler/Splitter

Coupler/Splitters are branching devices used to combine or distribute optical

signals to single or multiple locations for processing.

Tunable Bandpass Filter

Tunable filter can be used as a much smaller alternative to physically large

switched filter banks and cavity tuned filters.

Fiber Optic Circulator

Fiber optic circulator is a passive optical component that can be used to achieve bidirectional transmission over a single fiber in DWDM networks.

Optical Switch

Optical switch is a switch that enables signals in optical fibers or integrated optical
circuits (IOCs) to be selectively switched from one circuit to another.

EDFA (Erbium-Doped
Fiber Amplifier)

EDFA is an optical repeater device that is used to boost the intensity of optical
signals being carried through a fiber optic communications system.

FBG (Fiber Bragg

Grating)

Fiber Bragg grating can therefore be used as an inline optical filter to block certain
wavelengths, or as a wavelength-specific reflector.

DWDM EDFA

Fiberstore DWDM EDFA is an easy-to-use and cost-efficient solution for

DWMD fiber optic link amplification which operates at the transmission side
of the link. It is designed to amplify aggregated optic input power for reach
extension. Using dual-stage pump laser design and internal Gain Flattening
Filter (GFF) to compensate the erbium fiber gain variation, it features high
input power, low noise.
