Research and Markets has declared the addition of John Wiley and Sons’ new book "Free Space Optical Networks for Ultra-Broad Band Services" to its offering.
This book presents a complete description of a free space optical next-generation communications network, an optical communications technology that utilizes optical signals within the atmosphere instead of RF, fiber, or microwaves, providing a more complex ultra bandwidth communication services to several users concurrently within a brief period unlike fiber optic technology.
This book demonstrates new, standard advancements from the latest research and development in networking, components, operation, and practices. It simplifies broad coverage explaining the atmosphere’s physics and its effect in optical communications; progresses with the design of a network node; and concludes with fiber less network applications from point-to-point to mesh topology. Some of the major topics included are propagation of light in the atmosphere and phenomena that affect light propagation, Point-to-point FSO systems, Ring FSO systems,WDM Mesh-FSO, FSO transceiver design, FSO network security, FSO specific applications, Mesh-FSO systems and integrating the Mesh-FSO with the public network.
To cater the requirements of both academia and industry, key mathematical formulae are presented along with descriptions, minimizing extensive mathematical analyses. This book serves as an ideal text for network communication professionals, optical communication engineers, graduate students, researchers, managers, and consultants.
