Inhaltsangabe

Fiber optic networks are rapidly becoming the core of today's telecommunications and data networking infrastructures. This indispensable and practical guide, written by two of the principal architects of wavelength division multiplexing, explores the driving need for all-optical networks, the economic trade-offs involved, and their fundamental capabilities and design. This state of the art reference, which has sold more than 25,000 copies, provides unique coverage of the design of today's lightwave networks and the problems they solve, gives an ideal combination of transmission technologies, components, and networking aspects of fiber optic networks, explains wavelength routing from a practical perspective, discusses network control and management issues, including network survivability.

Críticas

This book is a lucid and practical exposition of the optics state of the art by two protege's of Paul Green. Skip the denser math if you want and you still can deepen your knowledge of this incandescent field. -Gilder Technology Report

Reseña del editor

The authors have captured what is going on and what is going to be going on in this field in a completely up-to-date treatment unavailable elsewhere. I learned a lot from reading it expect that you will too. From the Foreword by Paul E. Green, Research Fellow, Tellabs, Inc. The tremendous growth of bandwidth-intensive services such as the World Wide Web demonstrates the increase in performance that applications will demand from future networks. To meet this demand, optical networks are being deployed and are emerging as the next generation of high-capacity, multi-protocol networks. Engineers in communications and fiber optics, networking professionals, and graduate students in networking courses will benefit from this book's unique coverage of the systems aspect of optical networks. Features: Provides a thorough presentation of the physical, architectural, and algorithmic issues of optimal network systems Covers both wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) and time-division multiplexed (TDM) networks as well as SONET Provides an in-depth treatment of the design of advanced optical fiber transmission systems Discusses management and control of optical networks br
