I've wondered if one could shoot with DWDM 10G optics into two channels of a CWDM mux. For example, by connecting DWDM channel 359 (center 1530.33 nm) and 334 (center 1550.12 nm) to the 1530/1550 filters of a CWDM mux with 20nm spacing (+/- 6.5nm pass band). Might that support 1x10gig + 3x1gig on a single strand, or 2x10G + 6x1G on a pair? (and no, I haven't tried it). Yes, that'll work fine.

You can also use DWDM mux to mux down 1529.53/1530.33/1531.13 and put them all into 1530 channel. (Same with 1550 channels). http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog38/presentations/pilosov.pdf http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog37/presentations/4-pilosov.pdf
