Optical channel switch. (Product preview: networld+interop) by Communications News However, the emergence of wavelength-division multiplexing now requires that chromatic dispersion itself be measured over the [approximately equal to]80 nm optical bandwidth occupied by multiple wavelength channels. NIST measurement is adapted to meet telecommunications industry ... by Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Alcatel will be supplying its dense wavelength-division multiplexing technology for the 18,000 km SAC network which will link seven countries by 2001; Chile, Peru, Colombia, Panama, the U.
