In response to the increasing interest in developing photonic switching fabrics, this book gives an overview of the many technologies from a systems designer’s perspective. Optically transparent devices, optical logic devices, and optical hardware are all discussed in detail and set into a systems context.

Comprehensive, up-to-date, and profusely illustrated, the work will provide a foundation for the field, especially as broadband services are more fully developed.
