How does Wavelength division multiplexing work??

What will be an ideal response?


The technique assigns a uniquely colored laser to each input source and combines the multiple optical signals of the input sources so that they can be amplified as a group and transported over a single fiber. It is interesting to note that because of the properties of the signals and glass fiber, plus the nature of light itself, each signal carried on the fiber can be transmitted at a different rate from the other signals.
This means that a single fiber-optic line can support simultaneous transmission speeds such as 51.84 Mbps, 155.52 Mbps, 622.08 Mbps, and 2.488 Gbps (which, incidentally, are multiples of T-1 speeds and are defined as OC-1, OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48, the optical carrier specifications for high-speed fiber-optic lines). In addition, a single fiber-optic line can support a number of different transmission formats suce as SONET, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and others, in various combinations.?
