WDM Systems and Networks

This book presents the basic skills, concepts and design and simulation techniques for engineering optical systems using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). The editors demonstrate the effectiveness of computer-aided design as applied to optical systems.

Modeling, Simulation, Design and Engineering of WDM Systems and Networks provides readers with the basic skills, concepts, and design techniques used to begin design and engineering of optical communication systems and networks at various layers. The latest semi-analytical system simulation techniques are applied to optical WDM systems and networks, and a review of the various current areas of optical communications is presented. Simulation is mixed with experimental verification and engineering to present the industry as well as state-of-the-art research.

This contributed volume is divided into three parts, accommodating different readers interested in various types of networks and applications. The first part of the book presents modeling approaches and simulation tools mainly for the physical layer including transmission effects, devices, subsystems, and systems), whereas the second part features more engineering/design issues for various types of optical systems including ULH, access, and in-building systems. The third part of the book covers networking issues related to the design of provisioning and survivability algorithms for impairment-aware and multi-domain networks.

Intended for professional scientists, company engineers, and university researchers, the text demonstrates the effectiveness of computer-aided design when it comes to network engineering and prototyping.

Provides the latest developments in the ever expanding field of optical communication systems, network design and engineering Presents the state-of-the-art architectures of WDM optical systems and networks, and takes a vertically layered (across the network layers) approach to system/network design Includes a detailed discussion of the main physical transport layer effects and models followed by a discussion of current trends in WDM technologies and their corresponding modeling Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
