Multiwavelength optical networks

Written by leading authorities in optical networking, this book explores wide area wavelength-division multiplexing now that commercial deployment is at hand. After an overview of the enabling technology, the authors focus on methodologies for network analysis, control, design, and protection from a layered multiwavelength network architecture point of view. Procedures for network control and design are covered for each category of network and are illustrated with examples. The emphasis here is on the fundamental role of available network resources - optical spectrum, fiber topology, and switching node and access station functionality - in determining network performance.
