Brief Introduction to CWDMBrief Introduction to CWDM

CWDM( Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplex)

Difference between CWDM and DWDM: Carrier channel spacing of CWDM is wide; CWDM modulate laser adopts the uncooled laser,; The CWDM currently used generally works from 1260nm band to 1620

nm, the spacing is 20nm, and can multiplex 16 wavelength channels. The CWDM greatly reduces the system cost while providing certain am

ount of wavelength and transmission distance within 100 kilometers

DispersionDispersion

Input laser is not monochromatic, it is composed of many wavelength or colour.

The different wavelengths arrive at different times to BROAD, smeared, or DISPERSED output pulse.

The chromatic dispersion in the fiber causes different wavelengths to travel at different speeds, and propagation delay.

Distribution of Optical Wavelength AreasDistribution of Optical Wavelength Areas

A fiber has two long wavelength and low loss windows, 1310nm window and 1550nm window. But the commonly used working wavelength range for the erbium-doped optical amplifier is 192.1-196.1THz.Therefore the working wavelength area for wavelength division multiplexing system is 192.1-196.1THz.

Nominal central frequency refers to the central wavelength corresponding to each channel in optical wavelength division multiplexing systems. Channel frequency allowed in G.692 is based on frequency and spacing series of reference frequency 193.1THz and minimum spacing 100GHz or 50GHZ.
