OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS
(With CD-ROM)
Proceedings of the First International Conference on ICOCN 2002

Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore 11 - 14 November 2002

edited by C G Omidyar (Institute for Communications Research, Singapore), H G Shiraz & W D Zhong (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)

Optical communications networks are becoming increasingly important as there is demand for high capacity links. Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is widely deployed at the core networks to accommodate high capacity transport systems. Optical components such as optical amplifiers, tunable filters, transceivers, termination devices and add-drop multiplexers are becoming more reliable and affordable. Access and metropolitan area networks are increasingly built with optical technologies to overcome the electronic bottleneck at network edges. New components and subsystems for very high speed optical networks offer new design options.

The proceedings of the First International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks present high quality recent research results in the areas of optical communications, network components, architectures, protocols, planning, design, management and operation.
