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
Covers the important aspects of established and emerging standards

Store Description

The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT.
