Optical Fiber Telecommunications IV-B: Systems and Impairments (Optics and Photonics)

Optical Fiber Telecommunications IV-B: Systems and Impairments (Optics and Photonics) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Optical Fiber Telecommunications IV (AandB) is the fourth in a respected series that has chronicled the progress in the research and development (R&D) of lightwave communications from its infancy in 1979 to its vibrant maturity today. Active participants and authorities in the field have written the chapters, and the coverage of the field is complete. The level of presentation is aimed at engineers working in the field but at the same time tutorial introductions make the chapters accessible to students and professionals entering the field. Even managers, system purchasers and operators, lawyers, financial analysts, and venture capitalists may find material of interest.

Volume A is devoted to progress in optical component R&D. Topics include: design of optical fiber for a wide range of applications, new materials for fiber amplifiers, erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, Raman amplifiers, electrooptic modulators , optical switching, optical switch fabrics, planar lightwave devices, fiber gratings, semiconductors lasers for a wide range of lightwave applications, semiconductor amplifiers, all-optical regeneration, and high bit-rate electronics.

Volume B is devoted to lightwave systems, and system impairments and compensation. System topics include: growth of the Internet, network architecture evolution, undersea systems, ultra long haul, psuedo-linear high speed TDM transmission, cable TV evolution, access networks, gigabit Ethernet, and photonic simulation tools. Impairment and compensation topics include: nonlinear effects, polarization mode dispersion, bandwidth efficient modulation formats, error control coding, and electronic equalization techniques.

Book News Annotation:

This is Volume B of a two-volume update, which is the fourth in a series that follows the progress in the field of lightwave communications from its infancy in 1979 to the present. System topics include growth of the internet, network architecture evolution, undersea systems, ultra long haul, pseudo-linear high speed TDM transmission, cable TV evolution, access networks, gigabit ethernet, and photonic simulation tools. Impairment and compensation topics include nonlinear effects, polarization mode dispersion, bandwidth efficient modulation formats, error control coding, and electronic equalization techniques. Although the material is geared towards engineers working in the field, the tutorial introductions help make it useful to other professionals and students. Edited by Kaminow and Li, who are consultants on lightwave technology and systems.
