The first comprehensive examination of optical switching: where the field is and where it?s going With its potential to unlock a significant portion of the optical fiber bandwidth, optical switching has attracted a great deal of attention from the telecommunications industry. While much has been published on the subject in individual articles, Optical Switching is the first to cohesively present the topic in a single book. The three authors examine and discuss all the challenges involved in the commercialization of optical switching. Readers are brought up to date with the latest advances in research as well as the technological hurdles that researchers and engineers still face. One of the first topics addressed in the book is the optical switch fabric, the device that can redirect optical signals according to instructions that it receives from the switch control unit. The authors explore key issues surrounding optical switch fabrics, including the parameters taken into...
