Editorials

From the Publisher

"...comprehensively written and illustrated..."(Measurement & Control, May 2003)

From The Critics

Written for engineers who need information about the components and technologies that comprise fiber optic systems, the book begins by explaining the function and parameters of light transmitters, light detectors, cables, and connectors, and the causes of digital signal loss and dispersion in optical fiber. Following are chapters on regenerators and amplifiers, wave-division multiplexing, and the SONET and SDH standards. No-break power systems and hybrid fiber-coax systems also receive their own chapters. The very practical issues of planning cable installations in buildings and troubleshooting a fiber optic network round out the book. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
