Thomas E. Stern, Georgios Ellinas, Krishna Bala, "Multiwavelength Optical Networks: Architectures, Design, and Control (Second Edition)"

Updated and expanded, this second edition of the acclaimed Multiwavelength Optical

Networks provides a detailed description of the structure and operation of modern optical

networks. It also sets out the analytical tools for network performance evaluation and

optimization for current and next generation networks, as well as the latest advances in

enabling technologies.

Backbone optical networks are evolving to mesh topologies utilizing intelligent network

elements; a new optical control plane is taking shape based on GMPLS; and

significant advances have occurred in Fiber to the Home/Premises (the “last mile”),

metropolitan area networks, protection and restoration, and IP over WDM. Each of

these is treated in depth, together with new research on all-optical packet-switched networks,

which combine the speed of optics with the versatility of packet switching. Also

included are current trends and new applications on the commercial scene (wavelengths

on demand, virtual private optical networks, and bandwidth trading).

With its unique blend of coverage of modern enabling technologies, network architectures,

and analytical tools, the book is an invaluable resource for graduate and senior

undergraduate students in electrical engineering, computer science, and applied physics,

and for practitioners and researchers in the telecommunications industry.

Thomas E. Stern is Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University,

New York, and has served as department chair and technical director of Columbia’s

left for Telecommunications Research. AFellowof the IEEE, he holds several patents

in networking. He has also been a consultant to a number of companies, including IBM,

Lucent, and Telcordia Technologies.

Georgios Ellinas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer

Engineering at the University of Cyprus, Nicosia. He has held prior positions as an

Associate Professor at City College of New York, as a Senior Network Architect at

Tellium Inc., and as a Senior Research Scientist at Bell Communications Research. He

has authored numerous papers and holds several patents in the field of optical networking.

Krishna Bala is currently the CEO of Xtellus, a company that manufactures fiber optical

switches. Krishna was the co-founder and CTO of Tellium (NASDAQ: TELM), a

successful optical networking company. Prior to that he was a Senior Research Scientist

at Bell Communications Research. He holds a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from

Columbia University.
