Introduction to Optical Fiber Communications

Description

Optical fibre communication is a communication method in which light is used as an information carrier and optical fibre is used as a transmission medium. The text succeeds in giving a practical introduction to the fundamentals, problems and techniques of design and utilization of optical fibre system. Optical fibre systems have now become more sophisticated and a result, are now the communication method of choice for many systems. Additional material will include optical amplifiers, soliton systems and optical networks. In principle, the basic material elements that make up fibre optic communication are fibre optics, light sources and photodetectors.
