Advantages of Wavelength Division Multiplexing in Communication
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is highly advantageous due to its ability to optimize the use of optical fibers and meet the growing demands for high-speed communication. While WDM offers many advantages, it also has some drawbacks: Signal Separation: Signals must be sufficiently spaced apart in frequency to avoid interference. Limited to Point-to-Point Circuits: Light waves carrying WDM signals are typically restricted to two-point connections. This way, you can use the channel's capacity more efficiently. Initially, the potential of fiber optics for transmitting data across great distances was hindered by the limited bandwidth of early systems.
