A DWDM filter is a device which separates the signal of a single wavelength from many signals transmitted at different wavelengths. Optical signals are sent to the Common port, and separation takes place by transmitting a given wavelength to the Pass port and reflecting the rest of the spectrum to the Reflection fiber.
