  2. Wavelength-division multiplexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength-division...

    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. Some technologies are capable of 12.5 GHz spacing (sometimes called ultra-dense WDM).

  3. Optical add-drop multiplexer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_add-drop_multiplexer

    This is a type of optical node, which is generally used for the formation and the construction of optical telecommunications networks. "Add" and "drop" here refer to the capability of the device to add one or more new wavelength channels to an existing multi-wavelength WDM signal, and/or to drop (remove) one or more channels, passing those ...

  4. 16 Divisions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_Divisions

    The 16 Divisions of construction, as defined by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)'s MasterFormat, is the most widely used standard for organizing specifications and other written information for commercial and institutional building projects in the U.S. and Canada.

    Unless connected by optical fibre links, it shall not be OTN. Mere functionality of switching, management, supervision shall not make it OTN, unless the signals are carried through optical fibre. Unlike SONET/SDH, OTN provides a mechanism to manage multiplexed wavelengths in a DWDM system. [2]

  7. Reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconfigurable_optical_add...

    ROADM functionality originally appeared in long-haul dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) equipment, but by 2005, it began to appear in metro optical systems because of the need to build out major metropolitan networks in order to deal with the traffic driven by the increasing demand for packet-based services.

    A committee that reviews some nonconforming materials which are submitted as potentially still usable/saleable (if the nonconformance does not hinder fit or function). MS-[U.S.] Military Standard: Standards established by the U.S. military and widely used in the aerospace manufacturing (military and civil) and other defense industries. Standard ...

  9. Optical performance monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_performance_monitoring

    Optical performance monitoring (OPM) is used for managing high capacity dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) optical transmission and switching systems in Next Generation Networks (NGN). OPM involves assessing the quality of data channel by measuring its optical characteristics without directly looking at the transmitted sequence of bits .
