"Companies and research labs worldwide are racing to develop Dense
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, a far-reaching
advancement in the fiber optical communications field. To help you
keep pace with these latest developments, this all-in-one resource
brings you a clear, concise overview of the technology that is
transporting and processing vast amounts of information at the
speed of light. Until now, no book offered a practical introduction
to DWDM advances.
This book provides a comprehensive description of an optical communications technology known as free space optical a next-generation communications network that uses optical signals through the atmosphere instead of fiber, RF, or microwaves. This technology potentially offers more complex ultrabandwidth communication services simultaneously to multiple users and in a very short time, compared to fiber optic technology. This text presents established and new advancements drawn from the latest research and development in components, networking, operation, and practices. This book describes the FSO network concepts in simple language. It provides comprehensive coverage in an easy-to-understand, progressive style that starts from the physics of the atmosphere and how it affects optical communications; continues with the design of a network node; and concludes with fiberless network applications from point-to-point to mesh topology. Important areas discussed include: * Propagation of light in the atmosphere and phenomena that affect light propagation * FSO transceiver design * Point-to-point FSO systems * Ring FSO systems * Mesh-FSO systems and integrating the Mesh-FSO with the public network * WDM Mesh-FSO * FSO network security * FSO-specific applications To meet the needs of both academia and industry, key mathematical formulas are presented along with descriptions, while extensive mathematical analyses are minimized or avoided. Free Space Optical Networks for Ultra-Broad Band Services serves as an ideal text for network communication professionals who enter the free space optical communication field, graduate students majoring in optical communications, optical communication engineers, researchers, managers, and consultants.
Understand the fundamentals of the emerging field of fuzzy neural
networks, their applications and the most used paradigms with this
carefully organized state-of-the-art textbook. Previously tested at
a number of noteworthy conference tutorials, the simple numerical
examples presented in this book provide excellent tools for
progressive learning. UNDERSTANDING NEURAL NETWORKS AND FUZZY LOGIC
offers a simple presentation and bottom-up approach that is ideal
for working professional engineers, undergraduates, medical/biology
majors, and anyone with a nonspecialist background.
THE DEFINITIVE GUIDEBOOK TO NEXT GENERATION SONET/SDH, OPTICAL NETWORKS, AND NEW DATA COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL The next generation SONET/SDH answers the demand for a communications network with improved data QoS, higher data rates, exceptional flexibility, efficiency and scalability, superb protection, and a data-friendly standard, by integrating the simplicity and cost-efficiency of the data network with bandwidth capacity and QoS of the synchronous optical network. Designed for communication specialists who need to understand the implications and implementation requirements of the next generation optical network. "Next Generation SONET/SDH: Voice and Data" offers an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to this latest version of SONET/SDH. In this, his fourth book on optical networking, Dr. Kartalopoulos explains in simple terms the wealth of new protocols designed to optimize this new optical network, increase its efficiency, and decrease its cost. Featuring only essential mathematics and supported by many helpful illustrations, the text: Explains and references the new SONET/SDH standards Details the many implications and improvements that the next generation of SONET-over-DWDM will bring Provides careful explanations of such optical systems as Data-over SONET, Packet-over-SONET, Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAST), the Generalized Framing Procedure (GFP), Link Access Procedure for SDH (LAPS), Internet and Gigabit Ethernet over SONET, Virtual Concatenation, the Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP), and the Multi-Service Switching Platform (MSSP). In addition, the book explains other optical networks including the optical transport network (OTN).
