Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing
The increased demands on fiber optic networks toward the end of the twentieth century spurred a concern of fiber exhaust. The backbone communications companies such as AT&T, Sprint, and WorldCom, sought an economical alternative to installing new fiber which resulted in the emergence of a new transmission technology called Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM). The development of this new technology enabled companies to meet the macro capacity demands placed

limitation is dependant primarily on the stability of the light source and the integrity of the wavelength of the data.
