Optical Fiber Multiplexing and Emerging Techniques


Book Description

This book begins with the history and fundamentals of optical fiber communications. Then, briefly introduces existing optical multiplexing techniques and finally focuses on spatial domain multiplexing (SDM), aka space division multiplexing, and orbital angular momentum of photon based multiplexing. These are two emerging multiplexing techniques that have added two new degrees of photon freedom to optical fibers.

Wavelength Division Multiplexing


Book Description

In this book, Optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is approached from a strictly practical and application-oriented point of view. Based on the characteristics and constraints of modern fiber-optic components, transport systems and fibers, the text provides relevant rules of thumb and practical hints for technology selection, WDM system and link dimensioning, and also for network-related aspects such as wavelength assignment and resilience mechanisms. Actual 10/40 Gb/s WDM systems are considered, and a preview of the upcoming 100 Gb/s systems and technologies for even higher bit rates is given as well. Key features: Considers WDM from ULH backbone (big picture view) down to PON access (micro view). Includes all major telecom and datacom applications. Provides the relevant background for state-of-the-art and next-gen systems. Offers practical guidelines for system / link engineering.







Emerging Optical Network Technologies


Book Description

Optical networks have moved from laboratory settings and theoretical research to real-world deployment and service-oriented explorations. New technologies such as Ethernet PON, traffic grooming, regional and metropolitan network architectures and optical packet switching are being explored, and the landscape is continuously and rapidly evolving. Some of the important issues involving these new technologies involve the architectural, protocol, and performance related issues. This book addresses many of these issues and presents a birds eye view of some of the more promising technologies. Researchers and those pursuing advanced degrees in this field will be able to see where progress is being made and new technologies are emerging. Emerging Optical Network Technologies: Architectures, Protocols and Performance provides state-of-the-art material written by the most prominent professionals in their respective areas.




Fiber Optics & Aviation: Integration Second Edition


Book Description

This is the first book in our country describing the utilization of fiber optics technology in aviation. As of today, almost all new generation aircraft are installed with some fiber optics systems and/or fiber optics sensors. This book gives all the latest advances taking place in aviation as far as fiber optics technology is concerned. Especially with This book titled “Fiber Optics & Aviation: Integration” (SECOND EDITION), the concept of maintenance of all aircraft in India will have to be upgraded and changed as discussed in the book, and also this book gives comprehensive coverage of the topics covered in the book. As of today, no IIT, university/engineering college of aviation branch (Aeronautical Engineering) syllabus has this latest technology included in their subject, hence this is the right time to include this subject as a compulsory subject for students so that they are fully aware of this new technology incorporated in all new-generation aircraft. The same recommendation is also given by the Institution of Engineers (India) in their IEI Epitome April 2022 on Page Number 3 for the first edition of the book. practitioners and Students may use this book “Fiber Optics & Aviation: Integration” (SECOND EDITION) as a postscript to my earlier written book “Fiber Optics Fundamentals and Advances in Optical Communications” for better and intended understanding.
