β¦ Synopsis
Multiwavelength Optical Networks systematically studies the major research issues in WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical networks, such as routing and wavelength assignment, QoS multicast routing, design of logical topologies, and placement of wavelength converters. The book consists of two parts. The first part studies the fundamental concepts and principles of WDM networks. The second part discusses advanced and research issues of WDM networks.
The authors of the book have many years of working experience in the areas of computer networks and network optimization. The book discusses many difficult issues of WDM networks in a very comprehensive way. For each problem, there is a background discussion, and then the mathematical formulation, followed by the solutions.

Following the emergence of lasers and optical fibers, optical networking made its beginning in the 1970s with high-speed LANs/MANs. In the 1980s, when the bandwidth of intercity microwave links turned out to be inadequate for digital telephony, the technology for single-wavelength optical communicat
