Having worked in that industry 8 years, I can say that's an excellent practical introduction of key topics of the physical layer in optical transport.

Most reading material on optical transport is either elementary on one extreme or jargon-y material aimed at pro insiders.

It is refreshing to see a survey that covers so much in a clear, concise way.

Our company designs optical transport systems; we have a hard time en-boarding new software people because this gap in training material... I'm currently writing a blog post on optical modulation, it's difficult to find an approachable language.
