Silica Optical Fiber Technology for Device and Components

Beschreibung

Supports the design and fabrication of specialty optical fibers for today's communications systems Optical fiber research has expanded well beyond transmission media to encompass a broad range of silica optical fibers with functions that permit the development of a multitude of applications underlying today's communications systems. From basic physics to new products, this book examines all aspects of silica optical fibers. Moreover, the inclusion of the latest international standards governing optical fibers enables readers to move from research to fabrication to commercialization. Silica Optical Fiber Technology for Devices and Components reviews all the latest specialty optical fiber technologies, including technologies developed for: * High-capacity WDM applications * Gigabit Ethernet transmission * Optical nonlinearity control * Light polarization management * Photonic crystal fiber design for novel optical properties As readers progress through the book, they'll learn about key differences among standard single-mode fibers, multimode fibers for high-speed Ethernet LAN, and dispersion-managed fibers for long-haul applications as well as the design concept in photonic crystal fibers. In addition, it compares the most recently developed conventional solid core/clad optical fibers with the latest air-hole silica fibers still in development. Silica Optical Fiber Technology for Devices and Components also offers a self-contained, menu-driven software program for optical fiber design that simulates waveguide structures for most of the fibers discussed in the book. This software not only enables readers to explore the optical properties of the fibers discussed in the book, it allows them to design and specify their own optical characteristics. With its comprehensive coverage of current optical fiber technology, this book is ideal for researchers in optical communications, sensors, and related fields who would like to further develop their understanding in design and fabrication of advanced optical fibers.
