Synopses & Reviews
The aim of this book is to exploit the advantages of holographic technology, in order to implement optical devices for infrared fibre communication applications. It covers methods ranging from two-lambda to gated recording techniques.
Review
OPTICS & PHOTONICS NEWS "INFRARED HOLOGRAPHY FOR OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS offers readers a panorama of technological features, optical communication devices and network applications. I recommend it in particular to graduate students, researchers and engineers working in optical data storage and communications. Every university library should have on its shelves the entire "Topics in Applied Physics" series."
Synopsis
Technical engineers, research scientists and graduate students will benefit from the combined coverage of technological features, roles of optical communications components and network perspectives.
