Description
Fiber optics play a key role in telecommunications, as well as broadcast and cable systems. Engineers working with fiber optics as well as newcomers to the industry will find this comprehensive, practical guide extremely useful. It will help the reader develop a solid understanding of the underlying principles of the technology as well as essential practical applications. It is presented clearly and with a minimum of jargon, and the text is thoroughly illustrated and indexed.
The second edition is updated throughout and features sections on digital video, coverage of narrowcasting applications in cable TV, and DWDM and the internet. It includes new coverage of fiber nonlinearities.
