Author: Shiva Kumar, M. Jamal Deen Full Title: Fiber Optic Communications: Fundamentals And Applications Publisher: Wiley; 1 edition (May 12, 2014) Year: 2014 ISBN-13: 9780470518670 (978-0-470-51867-0) ISBN-10: 0470518677 Pages: 572 Language: English Genre: Fiber Optics File type: PDF (True, but nonnative Cover) Quality: 9/10 Price: 89.40 € 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 PowerPoint 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. ------------- Our members see more.
