DESCRIPTION:
A really excellent book on optical communications A Customer This book is an overlooked gem in the optical communications space.It's not quite as technical as Ramaswami and Sivarajan's "Optical Networks" but very understandable and complete. It's an excellent way for a beginner, even someone who already knows non-optical communications, to begin learning about the optical communications space.It covers all the optical components, including fiber characteristics, LEDs, lasers, photodetectors, optical amplifiers and more. If you're looking for a good introduction to optical communications, this is it.The. Thumbs up from lambda land This book is an excellent introduction to optical networking for applications engineers (AE's) and systems engineers (SE's) who need to get up speed on optics but don't need to wade through 150+ pages of graduate level mathematics. Dutton is required reading at several optical startups that are re-treading internetworking SE's into optics guys. The downside is the publication date--quite a while in networking. Overall analysis: best introduction for technical guys that is currently available.. A Customer said HIghly Recommended!. I like this book a lot and highly recommended to general readers. It is well written and up-to-date. It is not written for engineers, rather for investors and business executives. If you are a reader of Lightwave magazine, this book comes very handy and extremely helpful. The cover was not as testfully designed as Cisco's books. Well, what can you expect for IBM people?

Whether you're building optical systems or planning for them, this is the briefing you've been looking for.. If you need to understand the state-of-the-art in optical communications, Understanding Optical Communications is the most complete, up-to-date technical overview available. It presents an up-to-the-minute status report on WDM for LANs and MANs, including a rare glimpse at IBM's latest experimental systems. Optical fibre's low cost, accuracy and enormous capacity has revolutionized wide area communications, and fibre is increasingly the media of choice in MANs, campuses, buildings, LANs - soon, even homes. It points to the advanced research most likely to bear fruit: dark and spatial solitons, advanced fibres, plastic technologies, optical CDMA, TDM and packet-networks and more. Understanding Optical Communications reviews key technical issues facing engineers as they extend fibre into new applications and markets
Whether you're building optical systems or planning for them, this is the briefing you've been looking for. Fibre in the WAN, MAN, local loop, campus and LAN. WDM: sparse and dense approaches, photonic networking, WDM for LANs and WDM standards. Optical communications systems, interfaces and engineering challenges. Now a second fibre revolution is underway. Understanding Optical Communications reviews key technical issues facing engineers as they extend fibre into new applications and markets. If you need to understand the state-of-the-art in optical communications, Understanding Optical Communications is the most complete, up-to-date technica
