WDM systems primarily operate on single mode fiber optical cables, which have a core diameter of 9 µm. Certain forms of WDM can also be used in multi-mode fiber cables (also known as premises cables) which have core diameters of 50 or 62.5 µm. Early WDM systems were expensive and complicated to run. However, recent standardization and better understanding of the dynamics of WDM systems have made WDM much cheaper to deploy. The market has segmented into two parts, "dense" and "coarse" WDM.
Dense WDM (DWDM) is generally held to be WDM with more than 8 active wavelengths per fiber, with systems with fewer active wavelengths being classed as coarse WDM (CWDM).
CWDM technology is based on the same WDM concept as DWDM technology. The two technologies differ primarily in the spacing of the wavelengths, number of channels, and the ability to amplify signals in the optical space.
