I fiber optics and this lecture
0:07we're going to talk about wavelength division multiplexing
0:11
a technique used to share an optical fiber

among man! different signals "all simultaneousl!

wavelength division multiplexing uses that

fact that light can be traveling down the fiber

1:00
we can do exactl! the same sa!ing &pple fiber
1:04
so let's use a large core plastic fibre
1:07
and some laser pointers to see exactl! what's happening
1:11
wavelength division multiplexing is used

this is a large

if we had other colors and laser pointers

we can even had more colors and this is a good example how to callers

and as !ou can see exactl! the same thing happens

the green light is not bother to now and the modulation is a red light

in the same fighter

this technique was first used for wavelength division multiplexing

in sending ,te two signals over 1 !r

the same time !ou simpl! need to cut waste

to couple the light and two and have the fighter to different sources to differ

receivers and optical filters those filters

stop one color flight and let the other through

coarse wavelength division multiplexing
