Summary

Optical Networks: A Comprehensive Guide to Technologies and Developments

Following the emergence of lasers and optical fibers, optical networking began in the 1970s with high-speed LANs/MANs. In the 1980s, single-wavelength optical communications using SONET/SDH replaced inadequate microwave links for digital telephony. The need to utilize the vast bandwidth of optical fibers led to wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) for concurrent transmission over multiple wavelengths.
