Features: This book is a specialized monograph on dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM). It is divided into five parts, each further subdivided into chapters. Part I covers physical optics, including interference, diffraction, and refraction, serving as essential preparatory knowledge for understanding Mach-Zehnder or Fabry-Perot interferometers. Part II discusses the fundamental principles of optical fiber as a transmission medium and the characteristics of light transmission through it. It also covers various optical devices such as filters, multiplexers, demultiplexers, switches, polarizers, light sources, and optical receivers. Part III explores various encoding techniques used in digital and optical transmission. Part IV provides a concise and general overview of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), as well as discussing DWDM system design issues, network topology, and fault avoidance. Finally, Part V discusses the current research status in the DWDM field. Each chapter includes exercises, and answers are provided at the end of the book. Relevant references are listed after each part. The primary readership of this book includes researchers, engineering technicians, and faculty and students from relevant disciplines in institutions of higher learning engaged in optical fiber communication.
