Data centres are at the core of modern information networking due to the demands of mobile devices. To handle such transporting, the evolution of data centre intra-networking (DCI) and inter data centre networking (DCN) at ultra-high-speed transmission, processing and routing in the optical domain is essential.

This second edition offers insights into transport technology for data centres and the principal techniques for modern communication transmission of ultra-wideband channels. The book introduces digital transmission technologies and data centre networking, progressing to discussions on access and DC networking transmission technologies and super-channel transmission by multi-carrier sources, before concluding with a chapter on photonic signal processors. Revised and expanded as a second edition, this book provides a full update as well as the inclusion of all-optical routing, particularly all-optical networks and all-optical transmission.

The comprehensive and up-to-date overview offered by the book is an invaluable source for scientists, engineers, professors and mid-senior level students involved in data transmission and processing.

Professor Le Nguyen Binh obtained his PhD in electronic engineering and integrated photonics/optical communications engineering from the University of Western Australia. He has published more than 300 journal and conference papers, own several patents, and has published 14 books in the fields of optical communications transmission system and network engineering, photonic processing, integrated optics, and electromagnetics engineering.
