Optical Communications and Networking

<p>In the past few decades the optical communication industry has explored multiple degrees of freedom of the photon such as time wavelength amplitude phase polarization and space to significantly reduce the cost/bit of data transmission by increasing the capacity per fiber through multiplexing technology and by reducing the size and power through electronic and photonic integration. This book aims to explore the latest advancements in this industry including the technologies in devices systems and network levels with applications from short-reach chip-to-chip interconnections to long-haul backbone communications at the trans-oceanic distance.</p>
