Multiplexing
Multiplexing combines multiple signals into a single optical fiber link using techniques like Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). TDM organizes data into frames with specific time slots, while WDM uses different wavelengths for signal transmission.
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)
TDM converts multiple input signals into a high data rate serial stream using a serializer-deserializer (SERDES). It supports various signal types, including video and serial data, by assigning bits per frame based on data rate.
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
WDM combines multiple signals using different wavelengths. It uses passive optical couplers and supports bidirectional data links. Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) allows up to 18 wavelengths on a single fiber, while Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) supports even higher channel densities.
