Abstract :
A new WDM (wavelength division multiplexing transmission configuration for local communications is proposed. In this configuration, the demultiplexing function is performed using narrow spectral sensitivity optical detectors and a demultiplexer is not required, allowing economical and simple WDM transmission. Dual-wavelength WDM transmission of 0.86 ¿m and 0.73 ¿m over 2 km on GI fibre is experimentally confirmed, using commercially available LEDs for both optical sources and detectors.
