Optical WDM Networks

Optical WDM Networks is a textbook for graduate level courses that focuses on the networking aspects of optical networking, but also includes coverage of physical layers in optical networks. The author introduces WDM and its enabling technologies and discusses WDM local, access, metro, and long-haul network architectures. Each chapter is self-contained, and includes problems at the end; the material is organized for self study as well as classroom use.

Delivers a timely state-of-the-art report on the fast-moving field of optical wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networking Emphasizes the role of software in creating powerful network architectures for optical WDMs Focuses on networking aspects of optical networking, but includes coverage of physical layers in optical networks Self-contained chapters conclude with self-study review exercises Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras Request lecturer material: sn.pub/lecturer-material
