This paper benchmarks the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Techniques for optical communication network and its principles in optical communication network. Different nature of networks are used at global platform. Conventional and non-conventional techniques are continuously evolved over last few decades for optimum communication across different networks .Inherent nature of nonlinearities for optical communications systems limit the path of communication. In communication system, existing component give birth to new frequency components which will have the impact on the density and the capacity of the system network. Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing is one of the thrust areas in communication which has been rapidly adapted to enhance the communication capabilities of the model network. It is necessary to dig deep inside this evolving area, its principles and implications in hierarchy fashion to formulate and integrate new design techniques, to upgrade current networks in terms of smooth response, minimized disturbances and achieve high efficiency with reduced cost. In current research, different aspects of the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing have been touched and explored to direct the future research into new dimensions.
