IntroductionSingle Channel2-Channel WDM4-Channel WDM8-Channel WDMSummary of ResultsThis example goes through the design of an 8-channel WDM. Our goal is to design an 8-channel WDM system with a comb laser as the input, cascaded ring modulators to modulate and multiplex the signals, and cascaded ring resonators to demultiplex. In the wdm_8channels_1.icp simulation file, we start with all of these components and check the eye diagr...See more on optics.ansys Wikipedia

A WDM system uses a multiplexer at the transmitter to join the several signals together and a demultiplexer at the receiver to split them apart. With the right type of fiber, it is possible to have a device that does both simultaneously and can function as an optical add-drop multiplexer. The optical filtering devices used have conventionally been etalons (stable solid-state single-frequency Fabry–Pérot interferometers in the form of
