How Does Wavelength Modulation Increase Bandwidth in Link Aggregation?

[bluebird1984]

hi

I'm writting a paper on link aggregation (computer networks) and I've decided to write a little bit on Wavelength modulation, which is the process of directing the light from a fibre optic connection through a prism , down the cable, and then back again through another prism to increase the bandwidth between 2 switches. (sorry if you already know and I'm describing it all wrong!)


Switch 1--fibre optic interface--prism--cable--prism--fibre optic interface--switch 2

I'm having trouble finding any information on this topic, such as by how much the bandwidth can increase if this was introduced on a 1GB/s connection.

can anyone help me with this matter please?

Thanks in advance for your help.

sorry I just joined quickly and posted, i think this might need to be moved to the Homework Help Forum. :S

Can you post a link to some basic info about this technique? I'm not familiar with it...

I've finished my paper now, so you might want to close off this question.
it's also known as WDM (Wavlength division multiplexing)

there's plenty of links on google
