Description: If you need to
understand the state-of-the-art in optical communications, this is the most
complete, up-to-date technical overview available. Over the past 15 years,
optical fiber has revolutionized wide area communications -- making possible
the Internet as we know it. Now a second fiber revolution is underway.
Advanced
technologies such as Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) are adding even more
capacity, and fiber is increasingly the media of choice in MANs, campuses,
buildings, LANs -- soon, even homes. Now, discover the fundamental principles
and components of optical communications, as well as the key interfaces and
engineering challenges. Understand the roles of FDDI, Ethernet on Fiber, ESCON,
Fibre Channel, SONET/SDH and ATM.
Review key
technical issues facing engineers as they extend fiber into new applications
and markets -- and get an up-to-the-minute status report on WDM for LANs and
MANs. Finally, preview the advanced R&D most likely to bear fruit: dark and
spatial solitons, advanced fibers, plastic technologies, optical CDMA, TDM and
packet networks, and more. Whether you're building optical systems or planning
for them, this is the briefing you've been looking for.
