| Abstract
|
:
|
The field of photonic networks lies at the cutting edge of optical communication research. It is a technology which will fulfil the increasing need for faster, more flexible, high bandwidth communication services. Originally presented at the 8th International Tyrrhenian Workshop on Digital Communications held in Lerici, September 1996, these papers explore the current state of research in optical networks, with sections on transport networks, photonic access, and developments towards photonic packet switching. Particular emphasis is given to the description of advanced optical components and enabling technologies, together with detailed system analyses. The key design issues and the most up-to-date research trends are fully considered. Written by researchers working at the forefront of this evolving technology, this volume admirably reflects present knowledge in a field that will impact the future of communications.
