Wavelength<br />
WDM<br />
Zero Dispersion Wavelength<br />
A graphical representation of a vary<strong>in</strong>g quantity. Usually, time is represented on<br />
the horizontal axis, and the current or voltage value is represented on a vertical<br />
axis.<br />
Multiplex<strong>in</strong>g of signals by transmitt<strong>in</strong>g them at different wavelengths through the<br />
same fiber. A method of multiplex<strong>in</strong>g two or more optical channels separated by<br />
wavelength.<br />
The distance between two crests of an electromagnetic waveform, usually measured<br />
<strong>in</strong> nanometers (nm).<br />
See Wavelength Division Multiplex<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Wavelength at which net chromatic dispersion of an optical fiber is zero. Arises<br />
when waveguide dispersion cancels out material dispersion.<br />
