This book provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the art
of optical signal processing technologies and devices. It
presents breakthrough solutions for enabling a pervasive use of
optics in data communication and signal storage applications. It
presents presents optical signal processing as solution to
overcome the capacity crunch in communication networks. The book
content ranges from the development of innovative materials and
devices, such as graphene and slow light structures, to the use
of nonlinear optics for secure quantum information processing and
overcoming the classical Shannon limit on channel capacity and
microwave signal processing.

Although it holds the promise for a substantial speed
improvement, today’s communication infrastructure optics remains
largely confined to the signal transport layer, as it lags behind
electronics as far as signal processing is concerned. This
situation will change in the near future as the tremendous growth
of data traffic requires energy efficient and fully transparent
all-optical networks. The book is written by leaders in the
field.
