Abstract
The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive and fundamental insight in the issue of bidirectional transmission in optical fibre communication networks, as well as the practical application and implementation of bidirectional transmission systems. Here the word “bidirectional” is meant in the sense of using the medium, i.e. the optical fibre, in two directions, similar to the use of a single railway track in two directions. A broad range of aspects will be considered: physical aspects of optical fibre itself, transmission aspects of the fibre plus transmitters/receivers and network aspects. This work can be used by system designers, who may consider bidirectional single-fibre transmission in the development of fibre communication systems, or by operators who may consider upgrading existing unidirectional (e.g. broadcast) systems by introducing return channels
