Fiber-optic communication systems have advanced dramatically
over the last four decades, since the era of copper cables,
resulting in low-cost and high-bandwidth transmission. Fiber optics
is now the backbone of the internet and long-distance
telecommunication. Without it we would not enjoy the benefits of
high-speed internet, or low-rate international telephone calls.
This book introduces the basic concepts of fiber-optic
communication in a pedagogical way. The important mathematical
results are derived by first principles rather than citing research
articles. In addition, physical interpretations and real-world
analogies are provided to help students grasp the fundamental
concepts.
Key Features:
* Lucid explanation of key topics such as fibers, lasers, and
photodetectors.
* Includes recent developments such as coherent communication and
digital signal processing.
* Comprehensive treatment of fiber nonlinear transmission.
* Worked examples, exercises, and answers.
* Accompanying website with Power Point slides and numerical
experiments in MATLAB.
Intended primarily for senior undergraduates and graduates
studying fiber-optic communications, the book is also suitable as a
professional resource for researchers working in the field of
fiber-optic communications.
