Photonics in Switching (Hardcover)

The success of optical fibre as a new information transmission medium has led many to assume that optics or photonics can be similarly successful in telecommunications switching. However, photonics is in no sense a simple replacement technology for electronics in switching, and any attempt to use it in routing requires careful consideration.;"Photonics in Switching" provides an overview of the use of optics or photonics in switching, from materials and devices to system architecture. The chapters survey the key technologies, setting them in context and highlighting their benefits and possible applications.;This book should be a valuable resource for those working in the communications industry, either at the professional or student level, who do not have extensive background knowledge of the underlying physics of the technology.
