    This book discusses ultrafast optical switching devices and systems, which operate at speeds beyond those of normal electronics. Both fundamental physics and engineering applications are treated, and the book provides a complete LOGOUT of some of the key research issues and approaches.

    • One of the top people in the field, working in a leading laboratory
    • Very exciting, cross-disciplinary area in physics/engineering
    • Forefront area of modern communications technology

    Reviews & endorsements

    "....suitable not only as reference material for a scientist in the field, but useful as an introductory text for graduate students in optical solitons and optical switching in fibers....clear and concise and I believe that it will become an important reference text." Peter Wigley, Optics & Photonics News
