Front Matter - Fundamentals of Optical Fiber Communications (Second Edition)ELSEVIERFundamentals of Optical Fiber Communications
Communications is the most important application of fiber optics. Optical fibers serve as low-cost, flexible "pipes" that carry signals in environments ranging from climate-controlled office buildings to the ocean bottom. They span distances ranging from a few meters inside an automobile to nearly ...
An overview of optical data communications is provided, beginning with a brief history and discussion of the unique requirements that distinguish this subfield from related areas such as telecommunications. Each of the major datacom standards is then discussed, including the physical layer specification,...
and optical fiber communications have been completely rewritten to accommodate current technology. Each chapter contains summaries, highlighted equations, exercises, problems, and selected reading lists. Examples of real systems are included to emphasize the concepts governing applications of current interest....
build toward more advanced topics, such as Fourier optics and holography, photonic-crystal optics, guided-wave and fiber optics, LEDs and lasers, acousto-optic and electro-optic devices, nonlinear optical devices, ultrafast optics, optical interconnects and switches, and optical fiber communications. ...
these sections serve as building blocks for the treatment of more advanced topics, such as Fourier optics and holography, guidedwave and fiber optics, photon sources and detectors, electro-optic and acousto-optic devices, nonlinear optical devices, fiber- optic communications, and photonic switching ...
Fast advancing silicon technology underpinned by Moore's law is creating a major transformation in optical fiber communications. The recent upsurge of inte... Shieh,W - 《Journal of Lightwave Technology》 被引量: 159发表: 2011年 Second generation wavelets and applications fundamentals of the lifting...
The need to build out high-performance networks faster to provide true global connectivity has given rise to Managed Optical Fiber Networks or MOFNs The demand for bandwidth across the planet is consistently increasing — and there is no sign of it stopping. The International Telecommunications......
Photonics became more popular in the 1980s with the introduction of fiber optic communications. Integrated photonics started to supply devices for long-haul telecom where copper links were replaced with optical fiber links. To fit more wavelengths of light into fiber, devices were being developed tha...
