Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is a fiber optic transmission technique that employs light wavelengths to transmit data parallel-by-bit or serial-by-character. It allows for increased fiber capacity and scalability. DWDM evolved from earlier WDM techniques and can transmit 64 or more channels through a single fiber using spacing between 25-50 GHz. Ongoing research focuses on reducing dispersion and developing tunable lasers. DWDM provides a robust, simple, and cost-effective solution for growing bandwidth demands.
