What does this have to do with Newbridge? Almost as much as this story... Northern Telecom Touts New Laser's Possibilities Northern Telecom Ltd., Ottawa, said it has developed a high-power laser that can be tuned to generate light at different wavelengths, a discovery it says could help increase network capacity to support the explosive growth of Internet, data, and multimedia traffic. NorTel said its discovery enables customers significant design flexibility and cost savings in dense wavelength division multiplexing, or DWDM, fiber-optic deployment. Analysts say demand for DWDM technology will increase as individuals and business try to send more and more data over the existing long-distance infrastructure. Fiber-optic systems break data into quick bursts of light representing the zeros and ones of computer language. Multiplexors place a prism of sorts in front of the light to split it into many virtual fibers that can travel down one line.
