<p>An optical dense wavelength division multiplexer includes an interleaver and power combiners. Outputs of the power combiners feed the interleaver's inputs. The multiplexer provides a set of inputs of each power combiner, and a multiplexed signal output at the interleaver's output. Each input is not single wavelength-specific. The multiplexed signal has an improved optical signal to noise ratio because of the periodically spaced band reject regions of the interleaver.</p> |
