An excellent primer for students beginning to
study the subject, this current edition provides a practical, real-world
perspective on the fundamentals of fiber optic technology and optical
communications. It examines the reasons that optical fibers are the
preferred communications medium, surpassing copper wire in all
performance measures. A thorough explanation of how fibers work is
offered, as well as useful coverage of other related optical components
and how those components fit into system-level applications. Premises
(LAN), metro, 10G Ethernet, and long-haul applications are also briefly
surveyed. 384 pp.
Features:
information new to this edition includes coarse wavelength division
multiplexing and small-form-factor transceivers/connectors
new types of application-specific fibers and holey fibers are discussed
new coverage of the evolution of tunable components and VCSELs helps keep
readers current on the technology
real-world examples bridge the gap between the theory of fiber and its
applications in communications
writing style is easy-to-read and understand with numerous illustrations
that help concepts come alive
