Optical Networks: A Practical Perspective - Part 1. This book describes a revolution within a revolution, the opening up of the capacity of the now-familiar optical fiber to carry more messages, handle a wider variety of transmission types, and provide improved reliabilities and ease of use. In many places where fiber has been installed simply as a better form of copper, even the gigabit capacities that result have not proved adequate to keep up with the demand. The inborn human voracity for more and more bandwidth, plus the growing realization that there are other flexibilities to be had by imaginative use of the fiber, have led people. | SECOND EDITION Rajiv Ramaswami Kumar N. Sivarajan Opti cal Networks The readable style balanced coverage of transmission and networking issues and inclusion of real-world issues has been carried forward from the first edition into this second edition. This new version provides timely updates on emerging technologies that will shape the deployment of optical networks for years to come. Thomas S. Afferton District Manager Advanced Transport Technology and Architecture Planning AT T Network Services The second edition of Optical Networks impressively covers the new technologies that have taken flight since the release of the first edition. The result is a fine text that provides comprehensive and detailed information on optical technologies and networks for students professionals and researchers. Joseph Bannister Director Computer Networks Division Information Sciences Institute USC . . . In the second edition Ramaswami and Sivarajan have continued to provide a concise approach to this broad and multidisciplinary field and to strike an important balance between device and transport physics and transmission engineering network protocols and architectures. Readers will value the important updates on technology advances and their impact on future network architectures. Daniel J. Blumenthal Professor of ECE University of California Santa Barbara and Cofounder Calient Networks The horizons of optical networks are much more than high speed physical layer transport. An intelligent optical network design must include higher network layer considerations. This is the only book currently on the market that addresses optical networks from the physical layer to the network layer and should be valuable for those who try to understand the intricacies of what optical networks can be. Vincent Chan Professor MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science This book is not only essential reading for anyone in the optical networks industry it is important. It provides the .
