Résumé

In correspondence with the widely popular and original Handbook of Fiber Optic Data Communication first Edition, and now updated Second Edition (2001), experts in both industry and academia have compiled an excellent addition to the field of fiber optics. This work revisits and expounds on the future technology section of the first Handbook, while also including eight new chapters, plus a glossary and list of technical acronyms. New standards such as Infiniband and new technologies such as small fun factor optical devices, wavelength multiplexing, and optical backplanes are included. Information is also provided for end users of optical datacom, such as descriptions and comparisons of clustered parallel computing architectures, and forecasts from industry experts of what the next 25 years will bring in this field. Specialists, engineers, and scientists within this field will benefit from this up-to-date collection of pertinent information, as will those end users looking for answers to their everyday datacom questions.
