Normal WDM (sometimes called BWDM) uses the two normal wavelengths 1310 and 1550 nm on one fiber. Dense WDM (DWDM) uses the C-Band (1530 nm-1565 nm) transmission window but with denser channel. In fiber-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (i. Time Division Multiplexing Time-division multiplexing is multiplexing wherein FDM, instead of sharing a portion of the bandwidth in the form of channels, in TDM, time is shared. While both technologies increase the capacity of a network, they operate on different principles, making each suitable for different applications.
