Photonic Network Technology

Fiber Optics is a method of transmitting information in the form of light through the use of optical fiber plastic or glass. Photonics is the technology that uses light particles (photons) to carry information streams over hair-thin fibers of pure glass. Telecommunication companies are quickly shifting from voice-oriented telephone networks to data oriented multimedia networks based on the Internet protocol IP. This book uncovers the progress in the field of photonics, which is the technology that uses light particles to carry information streams over hair thin fibers of pure glass.
