Optical Fiber Communication, 2nd Edition

About

Features

• deals with all significant developing areas of the technology and techniques adopted together with the current state of the major application areas and trends.
• substantially expands coverage to include major developing areas in single mode fiber properties and types.
• explores optical fiber couplers and wavelength division multiplexing devices.
• discusses advanced systems and techniques in more detail, e.g., coherent transmission.
• contains extra worked examples and substantial additional chapter-end problems.

Description

This is the second edition of this highly successful book, giving an introduction to the fundamentals, problems and techniques of design and utilisation of optical fibre systems. all the chapters have been updated and many have been extended with extra sections including the most recent developments. In addition, three new chapters have been incorporated.
