ABSTRACT:
An analog lightwave communication system comprises at least two optical transmitters for providing optical information signals at different optical wavelengths. A dense wavelength division multiplexer includes at least two inputs for receiving the optical information signals from the optical transmitters and multiplexes the optical information signals to a composite optical signal at an output. Each input of the dense wavelength division multiplexer comprises at least one optical resonant cavity comprising first and second reflecting materials spaced to permit resonance at a selected wavelength. A fiber optic transmission system coupled to the output of the dense wavelength division multiplexer receives the composite optical signal.
