Authors

Book Description

This practitioner’s look at optical transmission gives you essential, hands-on guidance to engineering for optimal network performance. Real-world applications illustrate in detail the principles of transmission systems engineering. Complete with tables containing optical signal, noise, and impairment parameters, this book is an indispensable tool for calculating and modeling network transmission capabilities, evaluating tradeoffs among systems parameters and transmission optimization, and assessing optical transport limits and penalties.

Thisunique reference includes a series of transmission scenarios that help youensure network transmission under worst case conditions, establish benchmarksfor innovating high-performance, high-reliability optical transmissionequipment, and achieve other network performance goals. An overview of systemsengineering and optical networking fundamentals quickly brings students andnovices up-to-speed on a wide range of critical topics all practitioners needto understand.
