A financial firm asked me if a 10 gig wave offer was an "active wave". 
LAN PHY 10 GigE, WAN PHY 10 GigE, transparent, STM64, OC192. Yes.
Active?

Yes. They might be thinking of dark fiber..
I would suggest they are asking if it is to be carried on an active (Powered) DWDM ADM (Add Drop Mux), or over passive optical Mux's (short range).
Thanks. I think that makes sense.

I agree with Tony Wicks. I have seen an “active” wave referred to on active wave gear a a “passive” wave on a passive mux.
