9780890066799: Optical Transmission for the Subscriber Loop (Optoelectronics Library S.)

Synopsis

A guide to the emerging technologies now being considered for use in tomorrow's fibre subscriber loop systems, this book provides a rundown on what the technologies are, describes how they work, and then shows how to apply them to increase system performance, cut design time and lower costs. "Optical Transmission for the Subscriber Loop": presents basic concepts and technologies of network topology, multiplexing methods, access methods and transfer modes; describes the most important components for optical transmission - including optical fibres, cables, splices, connectors, laser diodes, photodiodes, fibre couplers, wavelength division multiplex (WDM), and subcarrier multiplex (SCM) devices; offers comprehensive coverage of fibre connections in fibre communications engineering; covers bidirectional transmission systems and presents several approaches for economical transceivers that can be used in these systems; and explains WDM- and SCM-based multi-chanel systems.
