Transmission-Efficient Design and Management of Wavelength-Routed Optical Networks

Transmission-Efficient Design and Management of Wavelength-Routed Optical Networks by Maher Ali.

Optical networks, employing Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) and wavelength routing, are believed to be the answer for the explosion in IP traffic and the emergence of real-time multimedia applications. These networks offer quantum leaps in transmission capacity as well as eliminate the electr...
