Optical fiber telecommunications

This title chronicles the progress in the R & D of lightwave communications. A central theme is the enabling of high-bandwidth communications in a cost-effective manner for the development of customer applications. Volume B is devoted to systems and networks, including advanced modulation formats, coherent detection, Tb/s channels, space-division multiplexing, reconfigurable networks, broadband access, undersea cable, satellite communications, and microwave photonics.
