What to read after Optical Transmission Systems Engineering?

Optical networks are the backbones of today's telecommunications systems. If an optical network's transmission capability fails or is disrupted, telephone and Internet service is knocked out. This book is a practitioner's look at this essential aspect of telecommunications. The book offers professionals hands-on guidance in engineering optical networks for optimal performance. Real-world applications illustrate the principles of transmission engineering. Complete with tables containing signal and transmission condition data, this book is an indispensable tool for calculating and modeling network transmission capabilities. Telecommunications engineers and planners can use the series of transmission scenarios to ensure network transmission under worst case conditions. These transmission scenarios also enable network product developers to innovate high-performance, high-reliability optical transmission equipment. An overview of systems engineering and optical networking fundamentals quickly brings students and novices up-to-speed on a wide range of critical topics all practitioners need to understand.
