Reviews

From the reviews: This is ! nicely written tutorial book devoted to optical networking. ! I recommend it to specialists working in companies planning to switch to full optical networks, but not having much experience in it. Also, graduate students will benefit from using it as an introductory book in the field. (Piotr Cholda, ACM Computing Reviews, April, 2009)
