Description:
Current networks are straining under the growing bandwidth needs of today's applications. So too, the demand for very fast response times also contributes to the network overload. Optical or lightwave networks represent an effective solution to this problem, offering a viable alternative to current networking technologies. Mulitwavelength optical networks transmit light at different wavelengths or frequencies, thereby exploiting the huge bandwidth potential of fiber. Deployment of wide area mulitwavelength optical networks is well on the way.
Expand description
This book focuses on the characteristics of the underlying technology, providing a structure for designing and analyzing lightwave networks in general, and wide area multiwavelength optical networks in particular. Renowned wireless veteran Stern teams with industry innovator Bala to deliver a comprehensive framework for understanding the technology, encompassing the concepts, methodology, and features of lightwave networks. The book is geared toward engineers currently developing and implementing systems. An added feature is the emphasis on Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM). Already a standard, WDM is expected to become the backbone of the next-generation Internet.
