Fiber Optic Communications

Beschreibung

Fiber-optic communication systems have advanced dramaticallyover the last four decades, since the era of copper cables,resulting in low-cost and high-bandwidth transmission. Fiber opticsis now the backbone of the internet and long-distancetelecommunication. Without it we would not enjoy the benefits ofhigh-speed internet, or low-rate international telephone calls. This book introduces the basic concepts of fiber-opticcommunication in a pedagogical way. The important mathematicalresults are derived by first principles rather than citing researcharticles. In addition, physical interpretations and real-worldanalogies are provided to help students grasp the fundamentalconcepts. Key Features: * Lucid explanation of key topics such as fibers, lasers, andphotodetectors. * Includes recent developments such as coherent communication anddigital signal processing. * Comprehensive treatment of fiber nonlinear transmission. * Worked examples, exercises, and answers. * Accompanying website with PowerPoint slides and numericalexperiments in MATLAB. Intended primarily for senior undergraduates and graduatesstudying fiber-optic communications, the book is also suitable as aprofessional resource for researchers working in the field offiber-optic communications.
