Dense WDM (DWDM) uses the C-Band (1530 nm-1565 nm) transmission window but with denser channel spacing. Channel plans vary, but a typical DWDM system would use 40 channels at 100 GHz spacing or 80 channels with 50 GHz spacing. In fiber-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (i. This technique enables better fiber utilization, as it increases fiber capacity by a factor of 16-96 and enables building effective optical networks. The internet's ability to handle the relentless, exponential growth of data—from streaming 8K video to transferring petabytes of AI training models—is fundamentally dependent on a single, invisible technology: Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM).

This technique enables bidirectional communications over a single strand of fiber (also called wavelength-division duplexing) as well as multiplication of capacity. 's Enhanced WDM system is a network architecture that combines two different types of multiplexing technologies to transmit data over optical fibers.

WDM systems are divided into three different wavelength patterns: normal (WDM), coarse (CWDM) and dense (DWDM). Coarse WDM provides up to 16 channels across multiple transmission windows of silica fibers.

However, recent standardization and a better understanding of the dynamics of WDM systems have made WDM less expensive to deploy. A WDM system uses a at the to join the several signals together and a at the to split them apart. Originally, the term coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) was fairly generic and described a number of different channel configurations.
