Optical Fiber Communications Principles and Practice
This is the second edition of this highly successful book, giving an introduction to the fundamentals, problems and techniques of design and utilisation of opticalfiber systems. All the chapters have been updated and many have been extended with extra sections including the most recent developments. ln addition, three new chapters have . been incorporated. KEY FEATURES INCLUDE o All the major developments in single-mode fibers o Current practice in opticalfiber couplers and wavelength division multiplexing devices o Broad coverage of optical amplifiers and active integrated optic devices o Greater emphasis on advanced systems and techniques, such as coherent transmission o Detailed treatment of the application areas such as optical sensors and localarea networks o A wealth of worked examples, problems, exercises and references This comprehensive second edition retains its practicalorientation combined with a clear readable presentation. lt is suitable as a text for use on advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the areas of electrical-electronic engineering, computing and applied physics. Furthermore, it remains of considerable value and use for practising engineers, technologists and scientists who require an up-to-date reference to this rapidly developing field.
