Items related to Introduction to Fiber Optic Systems
Aimed at advanced level undergraduate courses in fibre optics, this book explores fibre optics in communications. It describes the building blocks of an optical fibre system, and allows students to process the initial design of optical links for use in fibre optic communication systems. There is expanded discussion of nonlinearity, new material on solitons, dispersion compensation techniques, and fibre gratings reflect developments in the field and provide the reader with up-to-date information. Material on ATM has been added to the data networks section, broadening the network applications covered to include banking alongside computers (SONET) and telecommunications (FDDI). Fibre optic theory is covered, but more emphasis is placed on the results as they are applied to items in a link.

From the Publisher:
User-oriented perspective: The book provides a clear focus for the user of fiber optics technologyCas opposed to the researcherCby eliminating extensive discussion of fiber optics theory and emphasizing the results as they are applied to items in a link. Much of the material covered has been consolidated to make it approachable and understandable to the novice.
Up-to-date coverage of fiber optics amplifiers: As with the first edition, the second edition of the book offers coverage of, and the latest developments concerning fiber optics amplifiers.
Introduction of SONET and FDDI standards for data networks: Coverage of these topics gives students an understanding of how fiber technology is applied to leading edge network systems for computers and telecommunications.
Pedagogy:
Worked out examples and exercises
End-of-Chapter problems
Chapter summaries
Expanded discussion of non-linearity: The discussion of non-linearity has been expanded in order to expose the student to a broader dimension of scenarios related to fiber optics.
Coverage of latest developments in the field: New material on solitons, dispersion compensation techniques, and fiber gratings reflect that latest developments in the field and provide the reader with the most recent information available.
Coverage of ATM: Material on ATM has been added to the data networks section, broadening the network applications covered to include banking, along side computers (SONET) and telecommunications (FDDI.)
Rearrangement, consolidation, or elimination of material: Considerable attention was paid by the author to tightening the presentation both for the sake of clarity and in the interest of excluding material that was of tangential usefulness to the user of fiber optics. Thus, the Chapter 6 of the first edition, Splicers, Connectors, and Couplers was moved to Chapter 4 in the new edition, thereby adding to the clarity and logic of the presentation; Chapters 9 (Coherent Techniques) 11(Fiber Optic Sensors) 12 (Fiber Fabrication) of the first edition have been eliminated, thereby heightening the focus of the new edition; and Chapter 13 of the first edition on measurement has been eliminated, with measurement now integrated throughout the body of the text and introduced as needed.
