Fibre Optic Communication Devices (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Grote, Norbert; Venghaus, Herbert

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book covers all essential elements of current and next generation fibre optic networks, including many that are ignored in other books. The reader gains an in-depth understanding of the current and future capabilities of fibre optic communication networks. He can estimate what fibre optics has to provide and where its (current and long-term) limitations may lie. Optoelectronic devices and glass fibres are the basis of contemporary communication systems. The book deals with the various components of these systems such as lasers, amplifiers, modulation devices, converters, optical switches, filters, detectors, emitters, sensors and fibre transfer systems. A systematic evaluation of the state of the art in related technological research and the level reached in application is given.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the first edition:

"Devices for use in optical communication systems have experienced a massive increase in attention over the past few years. ... The book is well presented, readable and adequately up-to-date, with the most recent references in the late 1990s, and at least mentions of most of the 'hot' topics that are currently exciting us. ... The very extensive list of references enhances the value of the book in that role, and for this reason alone it should find a place on many bookshelves." (Peter R. Selway, Measurement Science and Technology, Vol. 12 (9), 2002)
