Description

In this book, Optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is approached from a strictly practical and application-oriented point of view. Based on the characteristics and constraints of modern fiber-optic components, transport systems and fibers, the text�provides relevant rules of thumb and practical hints for technology selection, WDM system and link dimensioning, and also for network-related aspects such as wavelength assignment and resilience mechanisms. Actual 10/40 Gb/s WDM systems are considered, and a�preview of�the upcoming 100 Gb/s systems and technologies for even higher bit rates is given as well. Key features: Considers WDM from ULH backbone (big picture view)�down to PON access (micro view). Includes all�major telecom and datacom applications. Provides the relevant background for state-of-the-art and next-gen systems. Offers�practical guidelines for system / link engineering.Typham this is the title: Wavelength Division Multiplexing A Practical Engineering Guide 1st Edition
