Overview
One of the most comprehensive books about this subject on the market, Optical Fiber Communication Systems includes a broad and complete selection of topics, descriptive detail, and a well-structured presentation. Each chapter is enriched with many examples, allowing readers to easily follow the material presented. It is organized into four main sections: 1) an Introductory section, which covers the fundamentals of optics and semi-conductor theory; 2) an Electro-Optics section, which describes optical sources, detectors, amplifiers, transmitters, receivers, and transreceivers; 3) an Optics section that includes optical fibers and modulation; and 4) a Systems section, that covers multiplexing, optical systems, and networks. This book serves as an excellent reference source for any major topics in the field of fiber optics, making it useful for project managers, RND scientists, design engineers, and applications engineers.
