Photonics in Switching provides a broad, balanced overview of the use of optics or photonics in switching, from materials and devices to system architecture. The chapters, each written by an expert in the field, survey the key technologies, setting them in context and highlighting their benefits and possible applications. This book is a valuable resource for those working in the communications industry, either at the professional or student level, who do not have extensive background knowledge or the underlying physics of the technology. Booknews Each chapter is written by an expert in the field. Volume I covers background and components. Volume II focuses on systems and includes chapters on multiwavelength switching and interconnection networks, optical code-division multiple access, space division switching, free-space interconnection techniques, switching systems, photonic fast packet switching, and multidimensional switching systems.
