WDM Optical Networks: Concepts, Design, and Algorithms

By C. Siva Ram Murthy

This book brings out all the important topics of WDM networks with a greater emphasis on wavelength-routed WDM optical networks as the other optical networks such as linear lightwave networks and broadcast-and-select networks are diminishing and becoming obsolete.

A review of using the textbook

I have had used this book as a textbook for a course taught by one of the authors, Dr Mohan Gurusamy. For sure, this book certainly gives the reader a good review of the recent development in WDM research. In particular, some of the materials cover papers that were published in IEEE conferences like INFOCOM, and major networking journals such as ToN and JSAC. As a student, it has accelerated my understanding of WDM technologies,...

A good tutorial but...

This is a very good tutorial or survey for a freshman on Optical Networking. However, it has three drawbacks. First, it only talks about Optical WAN while too little contents about Optical Lan or WAN, such as GE and RPR. Second, it does not discuss much about GMPLS and OAM.Third, English is not very good, two many repeated sentence. If you are an expert, don't touch it. It you are a freshman like me, be patient.
