Abstract

The book remains a comprehensive introductory text for use by both undergraduate and postgraduate engineers and scientists to provide them with a firm grounding in all significant aspects of the technology, it now also encompasses a substantial chapter devoted to optical networks and networking concepts as this area.

The main content of the book consists of fifteen chapters:

+ Chapter 1 gives a short introduction to optical fiber communications by considering the historical development, the general system and the major advantages provided by this technology.

+ Chapter 2 the concept of the optical fiber as a transmission medium is introduced using the simple ray theory approach.

+ Chapter 3. Again there is a specific focus on the properties and characteristics of single-mode fibers including, in this third edition, enhanced discussion of single-mode fiber types, polarization mode dispersion, nonlinear effects and, in particular, soliton propagation.

+ Chapters 4 and 5 deal with the more practical aspects of optical fiber communications and therefore could be omitted from an initial teaching program.

+ Chapters 6 and 7 describe the light sources employed in optical fiber communications.

+ Chapter 8 discusses the basic principles of optical detection in semiconductors; this is followed by a description of the various types of photodetector currently employed.

+ Chapter 9, with particular emphasis on its performance characteristics. Enhanced coverage of optical amplifiers and amplification.

+ Chapter 10, which also incorporates major new sections concerned with wavelength conversion processes and optical regeneration.

+ Chapter 11 then focuses on the fundamentals and ongoing developments in integrated optics and photonics providing descriptions of device technology, optoelectronic integration and photonic integrated circuits.

+ Chapter 12 draws together the preceding material in a detailed discussion of the major current implementations of optical fiber communication systems

+ Chapter 13 which covers both the fundamentals and the initial period of research and development associated with coherent transmission prior to 1992, together with the important recent experimental system and field trial demonstrations

+ Chapter 14 provides a general treatment of the major measurements which may be undertaken on optical fibers in both the laboratory and the field.

+ Chapter 15 on optical networks comprises an almost entirely new chapter for the third edition which provides both a detailed overview of this expanding field and a discussion of all the major aspects and technological solutions currently being explored.
