Duplex Transmission
Full duplex transmission can be performed in a single fiber by transmitting one
wavelength in one direction and another wavelength in the reverse direction. A
wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) in each end separates the signals to an optical
transmitter and an optical receiver.
This is further described in Chapter 7, Passive Devices.
