Optical Networks: A Practical Perspective

Optical Network Design and Planning takes a pragmatic approach to deploying state-of-the-art optical networking equipment in metro-core and backbone networks. The ramifications of this technology are manifold, affecting the architecture, operation, and economics of the network, all of which are covered in the book. The book is oriented towards practical implementation, based on the author’s extensive experience with carrier networks and commercial telecommunications equipment.

This textbook provides a thorough and accessible treatment of semiconductor lasers from a design and engineering perspective. It includes both the physics of devices as well as the engineering, designing, and testing of practical lasers. The material is presented clearly with many examples provided. Readers of the book will come to understand the finer aspects of the theory, design, fabrication, and test of these devices and have an excellent background for further study of optoelectronics.
