Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of basic background on transmission in optical networks and on general topologies to be studied. Most of the material is adapted from Agrawal (Fiber-optic Communication Systems, 3rd edn. Wiley, New York, 2002) and Ramaswami and Sivarajan (Optical Networks: A Practical Perspective, 2nd edn., Academic Press, San Diego, 2002), and the reader is referred to these references for more in-depth material. The concepts of OSNR and link power capacity constraint in optical networks are introduced as a preface to the remaining chapters.
