Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental theories and key technologies of optical transport networks based on WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology. It first explains the composition of WDM systems, the principles of wavelength utilization devices, and the transmission limitations of the system. Then, it systematically discusses various key technologies of optical transport networks, including photonic switching technology, network architecture, node equipment, network management, routing and wavelength allocation algorithms, and network survivability. Finally, it explores various implementation schemes of IPoverWDM and looks ahead to the development prospects of Automatic Switched Optical Networks (ASON). This book serves as a reference for researchers and developers engaged in optical transport network research and development, and can also be used as a textbook for university students.
