Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing WDM 2-Wavelength Multiplexer
Coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM): CWDM refers to WDM systems with fewer than eight active wavelengths per fiber. CWDM is used for short-range communications. WDM systems are divided into three different wavelength patterns: normal (WDM), coarse (CWDM) and dense (DWDM). CWDM solutions are available in industry-standard 20 nm spacing with options for a 1310 nm RF overlay bypass as well as single or bidirectional test ports.

Intelligent Optical Wavelength Multiplexer for the Internet of Things
Stanford researchers have developed a novel, inverse-designed wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) that integrates high-performance Bragg gratings for use in optical communication systems. Current solutions are limited by trade-offs between channel spacing, crosstalk, insertion. The most advanced iteration of a ROADM supports colorless, directionless, contentionless, and flex-grid functionalities, resulting in the most robust, flexible, and future-proof DWDM optical network. The study further found that flex-grid technology supports uplinks with high line rates and has. An optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) is a device used in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems for multiplexing and routing different channels of light into or out of a single-mode fiber (SMF).
