| Summary |
Originally presented at the 8th International Tyrrhenian Workshop on Digital Communications held in Lerici, Italy in September 1996, these papers explore the current state of research in optical networks. The three broad sections cover Photonic Transport Network, Access Networks, and Packet-Switching Networks. Particular emphasis is given to the description of advanced optical components and enabling technologies, together with detailed system analyses. The key design issues and the most up-to-date research trends are fully considered |
