Ruth A. Mendonsa

Lightwave telecommunication systems are meeting today's spiraling demand for increased bandwidth by adding multiple wavelength channels to each fiber. Wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems deliver 10- to 40-Gb performance on a single fiber, and 100-Gb performance is not far off. For all their advantages, WDM systems require advanced fiber optic components and related production test instrumentation. Typical performance requirements for these components include tight center wavelength tolerance, low insertion loss, high channel-to-channel isolation and high wavelength stability. Many...Read full article
