OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING — FROM THE LEADING
EXPERTS IN THE FIELD
With their proven ability to provide both enormous speed
and capacity,fiber optic networks have become the
hands-down technology favorite for capacity-intensive
broadband access applications. Business Week estimates the
current fiber-optic networking market at an incredible $16.
1 billion. Understanding fiber optical communications
engineering has become must know information for
engineers,engineering managers,researchers,and students.
This authoritative reference,culled from the pages of the
OSA's renowned Handbook of Optics,offers the combined
expertise of a team of international experts to give you
the answers you need to ride the fiber optics wave to
success.
Prepared under the auspices of the Optical Society of
America,Fiber Optics Handbook includes detailed,expert
coverage of every essential topic in what has become the
hottest field in telecom:
* WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) and DWDM (Dense Wave
Multiplexing)
* Optical Fiber Amplifiers
* Solitrons
* Fiber Optic Communications Links
* Tapered-Fiber Couplers,MUX,and deMUX
