Understanding CE, C++, and C+L Bands in Fiber Optics

A few days ago, while writing an article on optical communication, I mentioned the CE, C++, and C+L bands. Many students asked, previously they only knew about the O band, E band, C band, and L band, and had never heard of CE, C++, and C+L bands. What do these mean? Today, I’ll specifically explain … Read more
