Research and development on optical wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks have matured considerably. While optics and electronics should be used appropriately for transmission and switching hardware, note that "intelligence'' in any network comes from "software,'' for network control, management, signaling, traffic engineering, network planning, etc.The role of software in creating powerful network architectures for optical WDM networks is emphasized.Optical WDM Networks is a textbook for graduate level courses. Its focus is on the networking aspects of optical networking, but it 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, has problems at the end of each chapter, and the material is organized for self study as well as classroom use.  Highlights Include:Coverage of broadband access, optical burst switching (OBS), and optical metropolitan networks.Extensive treatment of "impairment-aware routing" and other timely topics such as "traffic grooming."Modern coverage of network control and management, as well as optical network survivability and "light-trees."The material is the most recent and timely in capturing the state-of-the-art in the fast-moving field of optical WDM networking.

This book provides an in-depth understanding of free space optical (FSO) communication with a particular emphasis on optical beam propagation through atmospheric turbulence.

This book takes a pragmatic approach to designing state-of-the-art optical networks for backbone, regional and metro-core networks. It provides readily implementable methodologies for designing cost-effective and capacity-efficient optical networks.

Optical networks based on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) tech nology offer the promise to satisfy the bandwidth requirements of the Inter net infrastructure, and provide a scalable solution to support the bandwidth needs of future applications in the local and wide areas.

Covers these key topics: Shared-mesh protection for optical WDM networks. Survivable traffic grooming for hierarchical optical WDM networks. Survivable data over next-generation SONET/SDH with inverse multiplexing.

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) offers a promising switching technique to support huge bandwidth requirements in optical backbone networks that use Wavelength Division Multiplexing. This book details the quality of service (QoS) issue in OBS networks.

Covering fiber optics from an engineering perspective, this text emphasizes data conversion between electrical and optical domains. Techniques to improve the fidelity of this conversion (from electrical to optical domain, and vice versa) are also covered.

The editors discuss Fi-Wi technologies at the three major network levels involved in the path towards convergence: system level, network architecture level, and network management level. Network architecture level: NGPON, WDM-PON, BBU Hotelling, Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RANs), HetNets.

This book presents advances in the field of optical networks - specifically on research and applications in elastic optical networks (EON).
