Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing video and CD-ROM gives a thorough explanation of this technology. Roles of the components and how they are integrated into a DWDM network will be covered. The understanding of types of fibers and their impact in designing and implementing the systems are demonstrated along with graphics of four wave mixing, dispersion characteristics, dispersion compensation and optical multiplexing and demultiplexing techniques.
