Ah, so it's actually 4 different wavelengths within the ITU-grid
alottment of one single 10G wave?

How does the fact that you need to amplify four times the photons in the
same wavelength space affect things? Just needs to be taken into
consideration when calculating the amount/number of
amplification/amplifiers?
Is this something in production or alpha/beta test with the DWDM
manufacturer?
