Wavelength Division Multiplexing

A Practical Engineering Guide
Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Wavelength Division Multiplexing offers a practical and application-focused exploration of Optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). It covers the characteristics and constraints of modern fibre-optic components, transport systems, and fibres, providing useful rules of thumb for technology choice, system and link design, and network considerations such as wavelength assignment and resilience. The text discusses current 10/40 Gb/s WDM systems and previews upcoming 100 Gb/s systems and beyond.

The book spans from ultra-long-haul backbone networks to passive optical network (PON) access, addressing both telecom and datacom uses. It serves as a comprehensive resource with up-to-date background and practical engineering guidelines.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In this book, Optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is approached from a strictly practical and application-oriented point of view. Based on the characteristics and constraints of modern fibre-optic components, transport systems, and fibres, the text provides relevant rules of thumb and practical hints for technology selection, WDM system and link dimensioning, and also for network-related aspects such as wavelength assignment and resilience mechanisms.

Actual 10/40 Gb/s WDM systems are considered, and a preview of the upcoming 100 Gb/s systems and technologies for even higher bit rates is given as well.

Key features:

  • Considers WDM from ULH backbone (big picture view) down to PON access (micro view).
  • Includes all major telecom and datacom applications.
  • Provides the relevant background for state-of-the-art and next-gen systems.
  • Offers practical guidelines for system/link engineering.
