Dissemination of Information in Optical Networks:: From Technology to Algorithms

Optical networks and the related technologies, network management software and services have undergone remarkable developments, and such networks are now the ultra—high—speed backbone networks for communication. Wavelength—Division Multiplexing (WDM), the ability to support multiple communication pathways over the same fiber, enables efficient use of the enormous capability for data communication of optical networks.

This book gives a broad overview of techniques used in the design of WDM ...
