DESCRIPTION:
Nicely Balanced Introduction Optimistix This is surely the best book on fiber optics networks. It's that rarity - an accessible academic book which doesn't ignore the practical side of things either. Therefore it is useful both as a textbook as well as a refresher for professionals.We studied the draft of this book in a course in the Indian Institute of Science in 1997 conducted by Professor K.N.Sivarajan, one of authors and a world-wide authority on the subject. It was an enjoyable course,and we felt . Jeremy H. said Excellent "Big Picture" book for students in optics. I got this book while working on my masters in electro-optics, and found that it completed the big picture of optical communications and how network components fit together which was lacking in my detailed graduate work. I especially recommend it to those with a background other than EE, as it fills in a lot of gaps that EE folks assume that others know.It starts off pretty light and qualitative, then begins incorporating some equations and formulas to accompany . Venugopal K. R. said AN INVALUABLE BOOK ON OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS.. An excellent and comprehensive book on Optical Networks for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Electrical and Computer Science/Engineering.The book consists of two parts. The first part consisting of six chapters, dwells upon technological developments in optical components and transmission systems. The first chapter throws light on the state-of-the-art optical communication technology. The second chapter describes the features of optical fiber and its su
The third edition of Optical Networks continues to be the authoritative source for information on optical networking technologies and techniques. These updates include sections on pluggable optical transceivers, ROADM (reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer), and electronic dispersion compensation. Componentry and transmission are discussed in detail with emphasis on practical networking issues that affect organizations as they evaluate, deploy, or develop optical networks. In-depth coverage of optimization, design, and management of the components and transmission of optical networks.Filled with examples, figures, and problem sets to aid in development of dependable, speedy networks.Focuses on practical, networking-specific issues: everything you need to know to implement currently available optical solutions.. This book clearly explains all the hard-to-find information on architecture, control and management. New updates in this rapidly changing technology are introduced. This book is your key to thoroughly understanding practical optical networks. Expanded discussions on multimode fiber with additional sections on photonic crystal and plastic fibers, as well as expanded coverage of Ethernet and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). Current standards updates such as G.709 OTN, as well as, those for GPON, EPON, and BPON are featured. It
--David Wall. The authors then cover various means of encoding information into light waves, paying attention to topics such as wavelength routing, network topology, and management. This is an academic book, full of equations, graphs, and schematics. In Optical Networks, authors Ramaswami and Sivarajan explore the scientific concepts and engineering considerations behind light-based networks. They then analyze each system, picking out the strong and weak points of each. Readers who are planning to put together an optical network may find that the book's case studies are the most interesting part of the text. Fiber-optic networking, on both small and large scales, has lots of advantages over traditional wire and wireless networks. Generally, discussion is theoretical, rather than oriented toward any particular make and model of gear. The authors give examples of real-world networks that different companies have built, su
