Biography

Marcus Nebeling, Hans Joerg Thiele

"CWDM is an optical communications technology that brought low cost and simplicity and thereby broadened the market. This book has a uniform, approachable, and teaching writing style and therefore is useful for any systems engineer working in the field, using the technology or consider CWDM as an alternative to DWDM. I highly recommend it."

-- Prof. Robert Norwood, Univ. of Arizona

"… A wonderfully written book by Marcus and Hans which provides the detail for those, that need to study the subject deeply, while interesting enough for those that need to understand the basics. Well done."
-- Ken Ahmad, Industry Pioneer and former VP of Luminent.
