Foreword
High-capacity optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) form the underpinnings of our telecom backbone networks. The continued developments of WDM systems and networks and related technologies are crucial for the evolution of the future Internet. Important problems include accurate modeling, simulation, design, and engineering of components, devices, subsystems, systems, and the network as a whole. The authors of this book must be complimented for capturing these important problems across this entire ecosystem. This book presents in a clear and illustrative format the technical and scientific concepts that are needed to accomplish the design of WDM systems and networks (and hence the future Internet). The book has been co-edited by Professor Neo Antoniades of The City University of New York, Professor George Ellinas of the University of Cyprus, and Professor Ioannis Roudas of the University of Pa
