Corning's dense wavelength division multiplexers (DWDMs) are integrated optical modules that combine, or multiplex, and separate, or demultiplex multiple optical signals of different wavelengths in a single fiber. Today, DWDM is a crucial component of optical networks because it maximizes the use of installed fiber cable and allows new services to be quickly and easily provisioned. Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is an optical multiplexing technology used to increase the bandwidth of fiber-optic networks.
