Optical Transmission collect several key topics related to transmission in optical systems. It stems from a set of clusters of partner institutions inside BONE- Building the Future Optical Network in Europe, therefore giving a very wide view on issues related to the topic of optical networking. Optical Transmission focuses on optical transmission systems, subsystems, components, methodologies and economics around the subject. It examines the status of actual transmission systems in a very compact and direct way. From there, the path to next generation networks is drawn by defining subsystems and components which will probably enable them. The dynamics of these systems are analysed by description of the management and monitoring of these networks and how they interplay. Then, to complement the presentation in the remaining chapters, simulation issues are covered. Utlimately, a set of economic drivers will define the lines for the next steps.
Optical Transmission represents a wide set of visions of researchers who are active in the actual research scene in Europe. An aggregate of highlights of research in transmission with a state of the art presented by the researchers who are driving it are presented. The trends on research are in this book presented by one of the widest networks of excellence put together in Europe in the field of optical networking (more than 40 Research institutions were involved). The readers will find a specialized readout of the current trends and status of transmission ranging from simulation to ultimate experimental results, from modulations to devices. A highlight of Optical Transmission is the introduction in a technical book a chapter on techno-economics, which drives the vision and field a little further.
General reading could be made however is more suited for graduated users.
The most important features of Optical Transmission are: wide vision on transmission related issues, state of the art and related trends and techniques; techno-economics of the field.
Was generated by a core of authors stemming from a very active Network of excellence Authors with very consistent vertical issues related to transmission Joins is a single book technical and economics of the field of optical transmission

From the reviews:
“It is suitable for researchers and professional engineers. Over 40 European research institutions collaborated on this optical networking project.” (Ishtiaque Ahmed, Optics & Photonics News, July, 2013)
