Raman Amplification in Fiber Optical Communication Systems
Clifford Headley (Editor), Govind Agrawal (Editor)
ISBN: 0120445069
May 2003

"…very comprehensive and covers the entire topic of Raman amplification as applied to communication systems. As befitting a book of this length, the treatment is exhaustive and provides a range of information, from historical perspective, to current implementations, to some forecasts of important technologies for the future. Raman Amplification in Fiber Optical Communication Systems is an excellent book to fully understand how this cutting-edge technology works…In brief, I highly recommend reading this book." – Bertrand Desthieux, Editor-in-Chief of Optical Fiber Technology.

Optical fiber telecommunications depend upon light traveling great distances through optical fibers. As light travels it tends to disperse and this results in some degree of signal loss. Raman amplification is a technique that is effective in any fiber to amplify the signal light as it travels through transmission fibers, compensating for inevitable signal loss.

* First comprehensive guide to Raman amplification, a technique whose use has exploded since 1997 in order to upgrade fiber capacity;
* Accessible to professionals just entering the field of optical fiber telecommunications;
* Detailed enough for experts to use as a reference.

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book provides detailed coverage of survivability (dealing with the risk of losing large volumes of traffic data due to a failure of a node or a single fiber span) and traffic grooming (managing the increased complexity of smaller user requests over high capacity data pipes), both of which are key issues in modern optical networks. A framework is developed to deal with these problems in wide-area networks, where the topology used to service various high-bandwidth (but still small in relation to the capacity of the fiber) systems evolves toward making use of a general mesh. Effective solutions, exploiting complex optimization techniques, and heuristic methods are presented to keep network problems tractable. Newer networking technologies and efficient design methodologies are also described.]]> Survivability and Traffic Grooming in WDM Optical Networks Arun Somani

GMPLS Technologies: Broadband Backbone Networks and Systems addresses the basic concepts, network architectures, protocols, and traffic engineering needed to operate MPLS and GMPLS networks.

The book begins with an introduction of the nature and requirements of broadband networks. It describes the basics of control-oriented networks and Internet Protocol (IP).
The text then examines the fundamentals of MPLS, explaining why MPLS is preferable to IP packet-based forwarding. This volume covers MPLS applications, details IP router structures, illustrates GMPLS, and explores important studies on traffic engineering in GMPLS Networks. The text concludes with a description of IP, MPLS, and GMPLS standardization topics. Network equipment design engineers and network service provision engineers can reference this book to understand the crucial techniques for building MPLS/GMPLS-based networks.

Since the turn of the twentieth century, telecommunications has shifted from traditional voice transport to data transport, although digitized voice is still a large contributor. Instead of an evolution of existing transport standards, a revolution was necessary in order to enable additional data-related transport.

]]> Next Generation SDH/SONET: Evolution or Revolution? Huub van Helvoort
ISBN: 0470091207
April 2005

The book provides a detailed description of the enablers of efficient data transport over any synchronous network. These include virtual concatenation (VCAT), the operation to provide more granularity, and the link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS), an extension of VCAT that provides more flexibility. Equally, generic framing procedure (GFP), the methodology that efficiently transports asynchronous, or variable bit-rate data signals over a synchronous or constant bit-rate, is explored in detail.

  • Describes new extensions to SDH/SONET standards to provide more granularity and flexibility in their structures, enabling the efficient transport of data-related signals such as Ethernet and FICON
  • Presents comprehensive sections on the implementation of multi-service transport platforms (MSTP) enabled by VCAT, LCAS and GFP
  • Provides valuable advice on how to exploit existing networks to create or extend LANs towards metro (MAN) or wide (WAN) area networks and also to support storage area (SAN) networks

This volume will appeal to manufacturers, engineers and all those involved in developing and deploying SDH, SONET and OTN technology. It will also be an invaluable resource for postgraduate students on network communications courses.

This presents an extremely important subject in the design of optical communications systems and networks, yet previous to the publication of this book the topic had not been covered holistically.

The text lays out an easy-to-understand analytical approach to a highly important and complex subject: bit error rate (BER) estimation of a transmitted signal with a focus on optical transmission. It includes coverage of such important topics as impairments on DWDM optical signals, causes of signal distortion, and identification and estimation of the signal quality by statistical estimation of the bit error rate. The book includes numerous illustrations and examples to make a difficult topic easy to understand. This edition includes a CD-ROM with run-time simulations from a vendor that provides commercial software for the industry.

A comprehensive, analytical approach to bit error rate estimation of transmitted signals

Few subjects are more crucial to the quality of service of DWDM optical communications systems and networks than bit error rate (BER) estimation. One of the world’s leading authorities on DWDM, Stamatios Kartalopoulos, offers this comprehensive treatment of an easy-to-follow approach to BER estimation.

Optical Bit Error Rate is an authoritative guide that describes the sources effecting the quality of optical signals. It lays the theoretical foundation on which signal quality and optical channel performance are estimated, monitored, and detected, and presents a cost-effective method for the automatic estimation of BER, Q-factor, and SNR, using integrated circuitry at the receiver. Among the key issues covered in this informative and thought-provoking reference are:

  • Noise sources in the optical transmission medium
  • Optical transmitter and receiver noise
  • The eye diagram
  • Errored bits and the bit error rate
  • Error detection and correction methodology
  • BER statistical measurements

Complete with a companion CD-ROM, prepared by RSoft, using their latest simulation software OptSim™, and containing ten real-life exercises that cover a wide spectrum of link-layer problems including optical amplifiers, Optical Bit Error Rate is the definitive guide for communications engineers looking for detailed information on this critically important topic.
