Wavelength Division Multiplexing is of increasing importance in optical fibre communication engineering. Its advantages have expanded considerably and demand the attention of those in the field. It allows increasing fibre capacity without incurring extra installation costs and the flexible expansion of systems. This book thoroughly explains the basic theory of optical multiplexing, and explores the practical applications and reviews the current research, summarizing the latest developments in the field.

. Wavelength Division Multiplexing is aimed at the telecommunications industry and will be extremely useful for all engineers and scientists dealing with optical fibres and optical communications as well as being suitable for postgraduate students studying optical telecommunications.
