The next-generation optical communications network, not surprisingly at all, will be as
optical as it can be. Only optical dense wavelength-division multiplexing can provide the …

A key challenge set by carriers for 40Gb/s deployments was that the 40Gb/s wavelengths
should be deployable over existing 10Gb/s DWDM systems, using 10Gb/s link engineering …

Unlike the many “comprehensive” books on optical communications, DWDM focuses strictly
on the technology, its enablers, and its system implications. There are no general chapters …

Future higher-performance systems will be more complex than today's systems since the
wavelength domain will be used to help route signals through different static or …
