Product Description
Optical Switchingis the most comprehensive and up to date reference book on its subject.After three decades of research and development efforts, opticalswitching has started to be deployed in cutting-edge networkinginitiatives. The optical devices, optical networks, andtelecommunications/data networking communities are in need of areference book that compiles diverse optical switching research, fromdevice technologies to system and network architectures, into oneproperly structured volume. This book provides such a service to thesecommunities.
The book is structured into threeparts. The first part provides the foundation for understanding thepotential role of optical switching in communication networks. Thesecond part is focused on optical switching technologies and on devicesbased upon them. Theories, operation principles, and fabricationtechniques are discussed. The third part covers optical-switchingfabrics, systems, and networks. Applications of optical switching incommunication networks are discussed, involving optical circuit,packet, and burst switching.
The chapters areself-contained with minimum overlap. They bring together academic andindustrial contributions, analytical and descriptive treatments, andcover theories, experimentation, and practice. The material has beencarefully coordinated to form a homogeneous manuscript having aprogressive and logical development of ideas and concepts. The bookembraces a number of distinctive innovations. Old and new terminologiesare investigated, clarified, redefined where necessary, and usedconsistently throughout the entire volume.
